This is continued on directly from 'please allow me to introduce myself...'

Phil’s dead.

I still find it hard to believe.
They found him at the bottom of a cliff. What happened?
Jack Maynard found him and says there has to be an autopsy and inquest.

He’d been to the San and was coming home. He’d done it hundreds of times before in all weathers. Why was it different this time?
I love him. I know people find it hard to believe and can’t see what I see in him.
He is my soul mate.
I don’t know what I am going to do without him.

It was a half term holiday when I met Phil.
He rescued that little idiot Signa from drowning. I was too busy trying to help her to notice who was beside me.
When I finally looked up I saw the plainest face I had ever seen. He had longish light brown hair, muddy brown eyes and a large nose with an odd little point to it. His face was thin and rather ratty. His sister later described it as ‘weaselly’.
As he carried Signa to the bus I noticed he also had large feet. I wondered if it was true what they said about men with large feet or noses.

I was determined to find out.

 


#10:  Author: Alison HLocation: Manchester PostPosted: Sun Nov 13, 2005 9:46 am


Hmm ... I don't remember that bit about him having big feet being in the book! I assume she gets to find out fairly soon if the saying's true or not ... she did stay with them a while considering that all she'd done was get a bit wet, didn't she?! Thanks Tiffinata.

Creative licence Alison! Wink
I stayed for a few weeks.
Phil insisted.
My hands were badly cut from the weeds and I caught a terrific cold . I became increasingly frustrated by my bandages as I couldn’t do a damned thing.
Helen and Mary had to help me bathe most mornings during the first week. Helen warned me that Phil had a way with women.
I was really looking forward to finding out and began to test the waters. I found this made me quite excited and could only relieve this in the privacy of my own room, which was quite difficult with bandaged hands I can tell you!

As I got to know Phil better I found he was just the kind of man to appeal to me, a bit unconventional, a bit conservative, open and honest.

We found we had many things in common.

I told him about my thoughts on marriage and relationships. Men can have their fun and women are expected to sit at home sewing until the right man comes along. Why should we?

I had fancied Jack Maynard while I was at school, but didn’t we all?

During long nights in our Dormy after Matey had gone to bed we’d fantasise about Jack. It was easy to slip between the cubicle curtains. How delightful it was to pretend that Polly or Giovanna was the good Doctor himself.

Then Jack got engaged to Jo and we had to escape from the Nazis. Jo spent many nights with Jack’s strong arms wrapped around her.
I wished it was me not her.
It’s funny that after all we went through then now nearly 20 years later that is the only memory that is still clear.
I hated Jo during her first few years of marriage.

Phil talked to me about his theories on medical matters and how he believed that the poor were entitled to free treatment. He went on to explain how some women offered to pay for his services. We had some quite frank discussions on sex. He treated me as his equal.

Phil told me about his family background.
His mother divorced his father when he was young and his father died when he was about 15.
As time went on he would tell me more.
His brother was killed during the war, and his brother’s wife Lois died soon after in childbirth.
Our second daughter was named after her.
It was because of Lois he trained to be an obstetrician.

Shocked Shocked Although why I'm shocked after reading Phil's take on the marriage I do not know! Wondering what Matey made of it all (I bet she knew!).

Thanks for the update Tiffinata

 


#15:  Author: tiffinataLocation: melbourne, australia PostPosted: Mon Nov 14, 2005 7:05 pm


Short update today. Bruiser and Thumper have been sitting there cracking their paws and being decidedly unhelpful. Luckily most of this is already written and just needs polishing.

Back at school he became a frequent visitor.
I was always pleased to see him, even if it left me frustrated. I couldn’t entertain him in my bedroom- god forbid!
That would set the cat among the pigeons and leave me without a job! I always had some chaperone around, like I was a child. I was 26 for god’s sake!
Next thing I knew he had a job at the San.

 


#16:  Author: ChairLocation: Rochester, Kent, England PostPosted: Mon Nov 14, 2005 8:14 pm


Thanks, Tiffinata. It was interesting to hear what Hilary thought about not given a lot of freedom even though she was a member of staff!

#20:  Author: tiffinataLocation: melbourne, australia PostPosted: Wed Nov 16, 2005 7:09 am


Bit more...
I am listening to the radio as I write. 'Do you think I'm sexy' is playing. For some reason I find this very funny :<vbeg>


I had a phone call from Helen one morning, asking me to come and visit for the weekend. I jumped at the chance.
For some reason Nell Wilson was reluctant to let me go. I know now that she didn’t particularly like Phil, but wouldn’t tell me.
Phil met me at the station and after we dropped off my bag we spent most of the day wandering around the town, laughing and enjoying ourselves.
Frequently I let my hand brush his and quite often he’d touch me on the arm to direct me towards something I should see.

Over a hearty Ploughman's lunch (minus the onion) he told me some of the legends of the area and I told him some of the funny school happenings over the years.
Like the day Cornelia used garlic cloves in the apple pies. How little I knew that one Carola Johnston was about to add to the legends of the school that day, by frying doughnuts in cod liver oil.


We wandered back home and Phil offered to make me a cup of tea, explaining that the maid only came to work in the mornings.
Both his sisters were out, Mary with her women's group and Helen was at the hospital.

For the first time we were alone.

‘It’s now or never’ I thought to myself.

Phil sat down beside me on the couch. He held my hand and told me he had fallen in love with me. I smiled and snuggled closer. He lifted my chin and our eyes met.

Then he kissed me.

Gently at first, with small nibbling caresses, then, as I began to respond, with more passion. His hands entwined in my hair until it fell loose to my shoulders, scattering pins far and wide.

We never did get to drink that tea.

#25:  Author: tiffinataLocation: melbourne, australia PostPosted: Wed Nov 16, 2005 7:58 pm


Hi people. Last post til sunday/monday I'm afraid. Husband's uncle died so we have to make a hasty trip up north for the funeral. Got the last 2 seats on the plane too! I'm sorry he's gone, but the last 2 years of his life were pretty miserable. Couldn't go anywhere without the oxygen bottle.

He carried me up the stairs to his bedroom. There I found that it was true about men with large feet and noses.
Phil was the biggest I’d ever seen and believe me I had seen a few!
More than that he was a caring, thoughtful and passionate lover.
I was glad that we had the house to ourselves. We weren’t exactly quiet.


We made love for what seemed like hours, only to finally sleep in each others arms as dawn was breaking.

When I woke he was gone.
The door opened softly and Helen looked in.
I was a bit embarrassed.
Wouldn’t you be? I felt a bit like my mother was checking up in me.
Helen had no look of censure.

She apologised for waking me and explained she’d had to wake Phil a couple of hours earlier for an emergency at the hospital.
She handed me a tray with tea and passed me her dressing gown.
Then she said as she left ‘Hilary, look after him. He’s my brother and I love him. I know you do too.’

Over breakfast we got to know each other better.
Mary joined us when she came back from the village shops.
Mary remarked in her gentle way that I was the first girl he’d brought home so I must be special.

I soon found I had made friends for life.

 


#26:  Author: ChairLocation: Rochester, Kent, England PostPosted: Wed Nov 16, 2005 8:02 pm


Thanks, Tiffinata. I'm sorry about your husband's uncle. I hope the funeral goes ok.

I'm glad Hilary has made good friends in Helen and Mary.

 


#27:  Author: KathrynWLocation: London PostPosted: Wed Nov 16, 2005 10:15 pm


It's really interesting to see all of this from Hilary's point of view. A real insight into the relationship. Thank you.

Very sorry to hear about your husband's uncle. My thoughts are with your family.

'Twas a lovely funeral. SLOC was asked to help carry the coffin out from the church which he considered a great honour. He needed to be there.
I needed to be there 'cause SLOC is petrified of flying. Wished I had something stronger than Bach Flowers!


In Phil I had found a lover to match myself.
Over time we met whenever we could.
It was hard keeping the relationship from the other staff.
I don’t think we succeeded entirely. I knew both Nell and Biddy were suspicious just from little things they said.
Miss Annersley had no idea about the true state of things Those eyes that had never needed glasses sometimes did not see what was in front of them.
Would she have forbidden me to see him again if she knew?

I’d wanted to push Phil, to see how far he’d go.
I tried to shock him.

I described in avid detail my evening with the postman a few months earlier.
I got a smile and ‘tell me more’.

I wanted to know about his women. Initially he refused to tell me. He was more conservative than me in some ways.
We went for a wander down to Kittiwake cove for a little privacy early one morning.
Somebody had beaten us there. We slipped in behind the shrubbery to watch. I recognised them and realised that it would be rather embarrassing for both them and us if they realised we’d seen them- especially as they were both married to someone else! The scandal of the decade! She is a very prominent doctor’s wife and is still the centre of the social world here on the Platz.

This was the first time we played voyeur together. It would by no means be the last. I found myself rather aroused and by the look in Phil’s eye I could tell he was too.
We found another more private cove. Sand in one’s underwear is not pleasant, so I decided to do without on the walk home.

#42:  Author: tiffinataLocation: melbourne, australia PostPosted: Wed Nov 23, 2005 7:37 pm


We discovered together the delights of ‘B and D’.
I had been showing him around the school and slipped into the Gym. I locked the door and began to tease him. Phil slapped me on the bottom with a table tennis bat and told me I was a naughty girl. As I grabbed the bat something clicked.
I looked deep into his eyes and knew that we were about to go a step further. That excited me and I could see the effect it had on Phil.
I reached for the rope and tied him to the vaulting horse, wrapping it around his chest like a snake.
I told him exactly what I wanted to do to him.

I slipped his belt off and managed to persuade him with a little help from this and the feather duster to tell me about his women. I removed his underwear with my teeth and gave him his reward.

It was to become a game with us. Over the years we became more adept at this and joined up with a club in Interlaken that met once a month. We have a safeword that we use which means 'stop I've had enough'. Funny the word we chose was 'Jo'

 


#43:  Author: Alison HLocation: Manchester PostPosted: Wed Nov 23, 2005 9:03 pm

Thanks, Tiffinata. I am also waiting to hear if it was definitely Jo and who she was with.

 


#45:  Author: tiffinataLocation: melbourne, australia PostPosted: Thu Nov 24, 2005 10:43 pm


Wink Could never keep a secret for long....

Jo Maynard had confided to all that she was expecting number 7 in October.
I wondered if it was the result of the liason we had seen with Commander Christy.
She enjoyed being pregnant and often flaunted fertility and her fantastic husband in the faces of those less fortunate.

The idea of Marriage frightened me a bit. I felt it would be giving up everything I had fought for. My identity and freedom in exchange for darning some man’s socks? No way!

Phil asked me to marry him.
I refused.

I didn’t want to get married. I felt it might have spoiled our fun and we’d have to be faithful to each other 'till death do us part'.
I was also scared. Ever since the flight from the Nazis I hated the feeling of being trapped, persued and having no control over things.

When I became pregnant I asked Phil to get rid of it for me.He was upset at the thought.
He’d done it for a number of women but couldn’t do it for me. He tried so hard to talk me round.
I hated this alien thing taking over my body but there was little I could do about it.

One afternoon I found myself crying in Phil’s arms and telling him about the flight from the Nazis, my dead fiancé, my fears. I had never told anyone these before. In the past when I had tried to talk about our escape from Austria people turned away and changed the subject.

Phil didn't.

He held me gently, kissed away my tears and helped me work through my fears.

Suddenly I understood what a it was all about.

‘Ask me again’ I said.
He did.
On bended knees.
I accepted.

I realised I loved and trusted him and he me. I had met my soul mate. I didn’t need to resent Jo any more

 


#46:  Author: ChairLocation: Rochester, Kent, England PostPosted: Thu Nov 24, 2005 10:47 pm


Thanks, Tiffinata. I never thought of Joey and Commander Christy. Shocked I'm also wondering if Commander Christy is Felix and Felicity's father. I'm glad Hilary accepted Phil's proposal.

 


#47:  Author: Ruth BLocation: Oxford, UK PostPosted: Fri Nov 25, 2005 12:39 pm


Thought it might be commander Christy! Mainly because I couldn't think of another married man who was around during the St Briavel's years (My first thought was Kester Bellever, until I remembered the other person was married!)

 


#48:  Author: francesnLocation: away with the faeries PostPosted: Fri Nov 25, 2005 12:45 pm

Now theres an idea!!!

Goods and materials were still hard to get for many years after the war, so I was to be married in my going away outfit of pale blue, with a small hat and veil.
Being mid spring there were plenty of flowers to choose from and I had Daffodils, Blue Iris and white Queen Anne’s Lace. Biddy, who was my bridesmaid, did a wonderful job.

My parents had arrived two days before.
Mother insisted I borrow her pearls.
She was so pleased. ‘Oh darling,’ she gushed ‘I always worried you’d end up a dried up old schoolmarm with no home or anything of your own. One of these horrible hearty career minded women. I’m so pleased you have found a nice man to take you away from all of this. And a doctor too! I’m so looking forward to having you home again’

I sensed some of these remarks upset Biddy.

‘Mother dear, if it wasn’t for these schoolmarms as you call them there would be nowhere for people like you to send your children when you no longer wanted to be bothered with them.
Oh and by the way, home for the moment will be South Africa.’

I heard a rich Irish chuckle behind me, and not another word from Mother.

Daddy was pleased also. He liked Phil almost immediately.
I told him he was going to be a grandfather.
He thought Phil had ‘taken advantage of me’ like my sister Anne’s husband David had soon after I got back from Austria and was a little upset.

I was trying to explain when Phil walked into the Drawing room.
‘Hilary please introduce me to your father’
I did.
Phil stood upright and fearless. He looked Daddy in the eye as he shook his hand.
‘Pleased to meet you Sir’
‘Are you indeed?’ My Father gave him a piercing glare.
‘Yes Sir. I wanted to tell you how much I love your daughter and that I will do my best to make her and our child happy’
Phil put his arm around me and I snuggled into his shoulder.
After a few more minutes conversation Helen came in to tell Phil he was needed at the hospital and Daddy and I were alone again.

‘ Do you love him?’

‘Yes Daddy. Very much’

‘Good. He’ll do’

#60:  Author: tiffinataLocation: melbourne, australia PostPosted: Sun Nov 27, 2005 7:00 pm


What Daddy doesn't know won't hurt him!

Phil was nearly in tears on our wedding day he was so emotional.

Frank Peters from the San was his best man and Biddy was my bridesmaid.
I’d wanted a small quiet wedding but this was not to be.
The small church was full. Being holidays many of the Chalet schoolteachers were there.
None of the Maynards were present, having sailed for Canada the day before.

It all went by in a blur. I remember Phil waiting for me at the front of the church, my father placing my hand in his, the many hugs and kisses from the congregation.
I remember my sister Anne and her husband David. Anne was clearly miserable and David tried to sleeze more women the more drunk he became.
My father made the usual kind of speech about not losing a daughter, but gaining a son.
Phil thanked Daddy. ‘I fell in love with Hilary the first time I laid eyes on her’, he told our guests.

We made our way to the station in a shower of rose petals and confetti in order to catch a train for Southampton. We were to spend the night there before embarking on our Honeymoon

We went out to South Africa for our honeymoon and to contemplate our future.
I enjoyed the time alone. South Africa was a wonderful place, but I wanted a home.
Then the San and school moved to Switzerland. Jack Maynard cabled Phil and asked him if he wanted to be part of it.

Phil went.
I looked forward to being back among the mountains and to have real snow again!
Phil’s evening calls were full of how busy he had been.
South Africa was nothing without Phil and I became bored without him. It was too stifling for me, among the holier -than –thou group who loved nothing more than a good gossip about their neighbours.
I was pleased to leave before they started on us.

I hopped on the ship and train to get to Switzerland as Phil had told me flying was no good for the baby. It was a few weeks later we were reunited.

In the meantime there was the Captain’s Dinner. I managed to drop my fork under the table and bent down to retrieve it. I don’t know how Captain Brown managed to keep a straight face while I was under there, with my hands down his breeches.
He wasn’t able to keep a straight face later that evening in my cabin.

The sailors were a salty lot too and the lifeboats were put to additional uses.

Phil met me at Berne, where we were to spend the night before travelling to Interlaken and the Platz.

We had a very satisfying reunion.
Phil was the only man for me.

Coulda been worse. How 'bout a knife??

Marriage and pregnancy did change our relationship. We had more freedom, but began to be more careful as I grew larger. Phil’s background in Obstetrics meant he kept a careful eye on me. At one point he was fussing over me like a mother hen. I found it nice, but restrictive.

On arriving at the Platz I discovered a very firmly bolted Chandelier. Phil made sure the bolts had been replaced with extra long ones. I wanted to try swinging on it on the spot, but was pursuaded to wait until after the baby was born.
Phil had also been kind enough to invest in a vaulting horse and various other paraphernalia. Over the years we have built up a collection to be proud of.

Phil and I never kept from each other what we did. Our agreement was that we came home each night. We took great delight in telling each other what we had done or wanted to do with someone else. It was just sex and fantasy. There was no emotional attachment to anyone but each other.

I was disappointed when Marjorie was born. I wanted to give Phil a son.
I had never been in such pain before. I was told it was an easy labour.
For me it was sheer hell. Phil was wonderful throughout. It must've been hard for him not to be the doctor in charge.
He asked Jack Maynard to give me some pain relief early on. I guess it dulled the pain a bit. Phil held my hand and ignored my abuse.

Our daughter arrived screaming her head off.

She was wrapped up and placed on my stomach and Phil gently stroked her head. Even through my exhaustion I could see how emotional he was. Phil was over the moon to be a father. He was so proud of his daughter.

Soon we had Lois and Phillip to compliment our family. Phil tended to stay home more. We fell into more conventional routines and gave a few dinner parties to our local community.

Joan Bertram came to teach at the school some years before.
From the day she got there she started making sheep’s eyes at Phil and throwing herself at his head.
If my husband wanted to have her he could. I had no interest in her as a prospective partner, and I saw the triumphant looks she gave me whenever she met me. I smiled sweetly back at her.

She didn’t know I had been watching the encounters from behind the curtains.
Joan developed a taste for things that became increasingly bizarre.
She wasn't of the scene didn't understand the rules. There was some quirk in her nature that wanted to be degraded. And the language that came from her mouth was disgusting!
I saw Phil’s reaction when she demanded what is politely referred to as a golden shower.
That was the most moderate of her requests and Phil rapidly tried to disentangle himself from her.
It was unfortunate that she had a big mouth and people began to look oddly at Phil

#90:  Author: tiffinataLocation: melbourne, australia PostPosted: Fri Dec 02, 2005 7:38 am


Phil had come home one afternoon to tell me of a new member of staff. Kate was a new Pharmacist and Phil was worried that he wouldn’t be able to get our regular supply of Amyl Nitrite.
We used this sometimes during a particularly long session of making love. Taken at the right point it helped to improve the quality of our climax and to convert pain to an exquisite pleasure.
Where was it when I was in labour?


For some reason Phil really took a dislike to poor Kate. She was a lovely girl and quite supported the idea of educating young women in ways to prevent pregnancy.
I explained that Phil was too embarrassed to tell people he was supporting his wife in a sex education campaign.
By leaving them in the surgical supply cupboards on the wards, Phil was still able to bring some home.
Phil thought she was an interfering bitch because she got involved with the patients when she should’ve stayed in her dispensary

#92:  Author: francesnLocation: away with the faeries PostPosted: Fri Dec 02, 2005 2:59 pm


I did get confused when I read that post! As Keren said, it's wonderful how you're blending the drabbles together.

Thanks Tiffinata

 


#93:  Author: tiffinataLocation: melbourne, australia PostPosted: Fri Dec 02, 2005 9:31 pm


Mixing drabbles- I had to! Everyone at the time most of this was written had their knives into Phil. The bunny thought the poor beggar deserved a break!
BTW Criticism is OK. I know this is the biggest load of garbage ever written, but it has been fun!

I was fairly unwell while I was pregnant with Frank.
We had a few worries at the time, some odd phone calls and wrong numbers, things being moved around. We suspected Joan Bertram was behind these things.
Phil was finding it hard to go near the school because Joan would appear and try to drag him into a broom cupboard or garden shed.

I nearly died when Frank was born. I remember very little of his birth.

I remember feeling I was floating in darkness.
I was floating above a hospital room, surrounded by a warm and loving white light.
There were a group of people hovering around the bed working on a woman there. They were giving her blood and oxygen, hooking her up to various monitors.

I looked down at this woman and thought ‘poor lady’

I was vaguely aware of somebody crying ‘noooo’ then silence.

I floated for a while, sometimes watching, sometimes in darkness.

At one point I became aware of a gentle voice repeating a verse from the Bible. I knew the voice sounded familiar, but I couldn't place it.
I felt too weary to bother.

To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven
A time to be born and a time to die;


I turned to walk towards the light.

A time to plant and a time to pluck what is planted;
A time to kill and a time to heal;
A time to break down and a time to build up;


There was a young dark haired woman facing me holding a baby.

A time to weep and a time to laugh
A time to mourn and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones and a time to gather stones;


‘It is not your time yet. Go back’ she said.

A time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to gain and a time to lose;
A time to keep and a time to throw away;


‘He needs you’

A time to tear and a time to sew;
A time to keep silence and a time to speak;


I heard crying

A time to love and a time to hate;
A time of war and a time of peace.


‘Hilary, I love you. Please come back. I don’t want to live without you’

I turned and walked away from the light, back towards the hospital bed.


When I woke I saw the dearest face possible. My Phil.

I told him about my odd experience a few days later.
He asked me to describe the woman. He became very still with a far away expression on his face as I did.
‘Lois’ he breathed. ‘Thank you’

Later he brought a family snap in, taken many years earlier. There was a much younger Phil, Helen and Mary taken on the wedding day of their brother Peter.
Standing next to Peter was the small dark-haired woman I had seen
This was the first time I had ever seen Lois's picture.

I came home three weeks later to a house covered in flowers. Phil carried me over the threshold and up the stairs to the bed which had been made up with satin sheets to resemble a Jewellery box.
'For my most precious of Jewels' Phil said, as he placed me amongst the pink satin.

It was wonderful to be back in our own bed. With my husband. Even if he was a soppy bugger at times.

Short post today!

I became a bit bored.
I had too much time on my hands and our sex life had become gentle and -dare I say -stale? Oh, I enjoyed the feeling of being the most precious thing in the world but I missed the roughness and unpredictability.
I missed the B&D club in Interlaken, but found it difficult to get away.
Phil was working long hours and it was hard to find a babysitter.
With 4 kids around it was difficult to find privacy.

I needed to change something.

That something arrived in the shape of Matey.

#109:  Author: tiffinataLocation: melbourne, australia PostPosted: Mon Dec 05, 2005 7:42 pm


I’d had a couple of drinks one evening when Gwynneth was visiting us.
We began to talk about life, the universe and men.
Gwynneth was one of these rare women who simply wasn't interested in sex with anybody. She didn't need it or want it. I found it hard to comprehend - I wanted it frequently!

Gwynneth told me she’d became a matron because she couldn’t stand the idea of having to play a lesser role to some man who was only half as good as her anyway. She joked that other work options had been as a nurse or a madam in a brothel.

Phil and I began to discuss about a possible role as dominatrix. I offered Gwynneth that chance. She accepted with pleasure and became a regular part of our Saturday evening games. Soon we introduced Gwynneth to the club in Interlaken. She became an immediate star.

Not many women could look as disturbingly attractive as Gwynneth did.
Most of the doms wore leather. Not Gwynneth! She prefered black PVC. It was easier to keep clean. You can take the woman out of the matron, but you can't take the matron out of the woman!

We began to plan a different kind of dinner party and bought new furniture accordingly.
When we gave a more conventional one I often wondered what the guests would think if they realised the table they were sitting at converted at the touch of a button to a mobile rack, and the armchairs had hidden attachment points for chains.

#113:  Author: Alison HLocation: Manchester PostPosted: Mon Dec 05, 2005 9:29 pm


Oh that was really funny! The new furniture, and wanting PVC because it was easier to keep clean!

Actually, I always thought that Matey had a thing for Jo - there are lot of comments about Jo being Matey's "heart's darling" - but that's probably just my weird mind!

Thanks tiffinata.

There was no shortage of young males. Many of the young peasants were in need of some tuition. Phil brought home a regular supply of condoms from the San. Quite often he’s sit and watch from behind the curtains as I instructed some youngster. Many young men were not interested in sharing a woman with another man, so for a while that fantasy had to remain just that.
Phil didn’t have the same problem.
There were many young country girls around who were quite pleased to have the attention.
I was sitting in the garden one afternoon when I overheard a conversation between a couple of the English women living here on the Platz, soon after Phil had left for work.
'Of course no decent woman would encourage his attentions! But you know what these foreigners are....'



Didn't like the post, so I added to it

Sour grapes? Very possibly Laughing

I only lost my temper once with Phil and I was incredibly angry.

Phil showed shall we say a distinct lack of judgement one day with Kathy Ferrars.
Of course he told me about it later that night.
I think even he realised how stupid it was to seduce a woman who was so dedicated to ‘tipping the velvet’.
I know others found out, but everyone was too polite to tell me about it. Some of the current mistresses became icily polite to Phil whenever they met.
I saw Kathy just before she left the Platz. People often preferred to ignore what was under their noses, but it was obvious to me she was pregnant and not handling it well. I also saw that Phil didn’t know.

This was the first secret I had kept from him.

Real life got into the way!

Phil told me one morning he was taking Reg down to meet Genevieve in Interlaken for a 'bit of practice' before his wedding to Len.
It was surprising to learn that Reg was a virgin. Given the reputation of many of the doctors I had met it was decidedly unusual.
Genevieve was the manager of the most expensive brothel in town and knew quite a few people who were in the B&D club, although she didn’t indulge. We had invited her to some of our unconventional dinner parties. She and Gwynneth had become quite good friends since they met.

Phil arrived back late that night with a very different Reg.

Genevieve’s ladies had done their work well. Len was in for a surprise

 


#128:  Author: Alison HLocation: Manchester PostPosted: Sun Dec 11, 2005 9:50 am

#130:  Author: tiffinataLocation: melbourne, australia PostPosted: Sun Dec 11, 2005 7:23 pm


There was always something happening here. Every day we would go for a walk and we'd meet up with someone.
More often than not it was when we didn't want company. The woods in Autumn were lovely and we'd take full advantage of them. Mostly we'd talk about things we didn't want the kids to hear about.

During one of out walks we met Len and Reg. Len did not look like the tidy creature we knew that day and Reg looked like the cat that got the cream. Both were giggling and Len blushed when she saw us. I think if there had been somewhere to hide she would have found it!
We said 'good morning' and walked on. We looked at each other and Phil said 'yes, I think so!'

Phil had spoken to Jack Maynard about Joan Bertram’s increasingly bizarre and threatening behaviour.
Phil was becoming quite concerned, especially as the threats were towards the kids and me. He arranged an appointment with the Psychiatrist, the earliest available being in about 2 weeks time. It would have to do.

It was fortunate Joan was to be sent on escort duty to Britain for much of that time.
Jack arranged to have her medicated and kept under observation when she returned.

We met the Rutherford family when Mrs Rutherford was admitted to the San with the beginnings of lung disease.
Mr and Mrs Rutherford had a beautiful daughter named Eleanor.
She had this confiding manner that I felt was a bit put on. Her parents said they had arranged an advantageous marriage for her when they got home.
Eleanor was no virgin when she arrived. She had the look of one who had been around the town before. There was something else about her I didn’t trust and I told Phil to be careful.

That night in bed he told me about her initiation and how little instruction she had needed. He seemed a bit surprised.

A couple of days later Phil told me he had almost been caught by the maid and had decided to finish the relationship with Eleanor.
He said in future he would be more careful.

I hoped so.

Yes, it is coming up to the sad bit. But soon we find out what exactly happened to Phil! It has been a longish cliff.

Phil began to look extremely worried.

Something had happened and he began to lose sleep. When I asked what was wrong he responded that something had happened at work and he was trying to think things through.
It was the first time he hadn’t confided in me. He frequently told me how much he loved me and I him.
I tried to get him to relax by massaging his shoulders and making love to him in a way that usually sent him to sleep.

As I dozed off I heard him get up and go out.

I knew then that whatever it was it was quite bad.

The phone rang and I heard him leave the house.

#146:  Author: tiffinataLocation: melbourne, australia PostPosted: Wed Dec 14, 2005 6:57 pm


here's more


Jack and Joey Maynard are here. I can tell by their expression that something is wrong. Joey wraps her arms around me
‘I’m sorry Hilary’
I then know they’ve found Phil and he’s dead.


I have been told their needs to be an autopsy and inquest and I’ll have to give evidence.

I still find it hard to accept. They told me he had gone over a cliff. He’d been to the San and was coming home. He’d done it hundreds of times before in the all weathers. Why was it different this time?

Jack has come to tell me the results of the Autopsy. A broken Hyoid bone and bruising indicated he had been strangled.

It is now a case for the police

Clever twist in the tale

 


#155:  Author: tiffinataLocation: melbourne, australia PostPosted: Thu Dec 15, 2005 7:19 pm


We buried Phil today in the cold ground.

So many expressions of sympathy. In the end it’s only words from people who didn’t care about him when he was alive.
Now it’s too late.
More whispering, more wagging tongues. News travels fast here.

Was it one of you who killed my Phil?

 


#156:  Author: Alison HLocation: Manchester PostPosted: Thu Dec 15, 2005 8:36 pm


Unfortunately I can think of several suspects! Poor Phil and poor Hilary.

#164:  Author: tiffinataLocation: melbourne, australia PostPosted: Sat Dec 17, 2005 4:53 am


An inspector has arrived!!

The police want to know every detail of our lives.

‘Meine Frau, I am sorry for your loss.'

No you’re not. You’re just doing your job
‘Thank you’

‘I’m sorry if this is hard for you but we need to ask you some questions about the Herr Doktor. We need your help.
We need to find out the person who killed the Herr Doktor. '

He had a name you know. It was Phil. Philip Albert Graves to be exact.
‘That’s ok. Ask what you need to and I’ll do my best to answer.’

‘Please tell me if there was anything unusual about the Herr Doktor’s behaviour recently’

Unusual? Our whole lifestyle and marriage was unusual. How much do they need to know? How much do I tell them? Is it better they find out from me? Will they be discreet?
‘My husband and I had a very unusual marriage. What I am about to tell you is in strictest confidence. I will be as open and honest with you as I can and I trust that this information will go no further.’

‘Meine Frau, I will do my best.’

So I told him. The men, the women, the games, the club, the dinner parties, our lifestyle, Joan, Eleanor, Gwynneth, Kathie, Phil’s job and how much I loved him.

The officer’s eyes opened wider and wider as I spoke.
He sighed when I had finished

‘This means many people could be the murderer.’

Yes, but it took only one to kill him

‘Do you believe you yourself could be in any danger?’
‘From Joan do you mean? I think it unlikely. Jack Maynard is the best person to talk to about her. She can’t have killed Phil. She was on escort duty the night he died.'

‘Thank you Frau Graves, I will talk to Herr Doktor Maynard’

 


#165:  Author: Alison HLocation: Manchester PostPosted: Sat Dec 17, 2005 8:20 am


Poor Hilary ... and I don't suppose the inspector'd expected to hear all that!

 


#166:  Author: ChairLocation: Rochester, Kent, England PostPosted: Sat Dec 17, 2005 1:17 pm


Thanks, Tiffinata. The Inspector definitely had a shock! I hope Jack will be able to help the Inspector.

 


#167:  Author: tiffinataLocation: melbourne, australia PostPosted: Sun Dec 18, 2005 7:04 pm


Enquiries continue to be made. The people from the San have all been interviewed, as have the school staff who were here at the time. It towards the end of the holidays so many of the teaching staff were on escort duty- including Joan.

There was a letter in my postbox this morning.

If I didn’t want the details of what my husband had been up to to become public knowledge it would be within my interests to meet with the sender of the letter.

The place is the woods at midnight tonight and to communicate with nobody.

So what is that supposed to mean?

 


#168:  Author: LesleyLocation: Allhallows, Kent PostPosted: Sun Dec 18, 2005 7:13 pm


Now that's very interesting. Will Hilary go? Will she arrange a trap? Confused

This is excellent Tiffinata!

Thanks, Tiffinata. I look forward to finding out who has sent the letter and what Hilary is going to do about it.

Oh no! Now I am really anxious for Hilary. I hope she doesn't do anything silly.

 


#172:  Author: tiffinataLocation: melbourne, australia PostPosted: Mon Dec 19, 2005 4:49 am


Helen has arrived with some food. She has taken a copy of the letter to the police officer who I trust.

Another officer will wait here tonight with Helen and the children while I walk to the meeting place. Someone will keep me in sight.


Could I be meeting with my husband’s killer?

I am here.

Police have been waiting since sunset.

I have made friends with a large German Shepherd by the name of Rex.

The Inspector, Herr Moser, is hidden not too far away. I feel safe knowing he is near.

An owl hoots.

The moon has gone behind a cloud.

I hear the crack of a twig. I turn to face the sound. There is a figure walking towards me.

‘Who are you?’
“Never you mind. Are you alone?

I have heard the voice before, but I just can’t place it
‘What do you want?’

‘Money. To keep quiet about what I know’

‘What do you know?’

‘Your husband seduced my daughter’

‘My husband seduced a lot of daughters. Why should yours be any different?’
‘She’s my only child. My little girl. My baby.’

Dear Lord, what had Phil been up to? ‘Do I know your daughter?’

‘You have met.’

So how many little girls had I met? Was she a pupil at the school? How old were we talking about?

‘She was to make a good marriage you know. Now her fiancé won’t have her’

Marriage? Where had I heard that voice say those same words?
Then it struck me. Was this Mr Rutherford?

‘Engagements break up every day. Why should this concern me?’ I shrugged my shoulders in a gesture of total unconcern

‘Because it is your husband’s fault and I want compensation or I’ll tell the world exactly what happened.’

‘And do you think the world would believe you? Because I certainly don’t’

‘All her hopes of a good marriage ruined…Her maidenhood taken by a wicked selfish doctor.’

As the moon came out from behind a cloud I could feel my temper begin to boil.

‘ I know exactly what happened. Your daughter set out to trap my husband with the wide-eyed line about being terribly afraid of her wedding night and asking for a few instructive lessons on what to do. I know that the maid walked in with some fresh towels one day when Phil was there. I also know this was not the first time she had found Eleanor in a compromising position that there were at least 2 men in there one afternoon a week earlier. So don’t give me this crap about her life being ruined, Mr Rutherford, because I simply won’t believe it!’

‘And while we are at it, where the hell do you get off trying to demand money from me? You’re nothing but a two bit, scheming little blackmailer who has nothing better to do than to try and rake up muck on anyone they can! Did you try this scheme on Phil too? Perhaps you met him on the way back from the San and strangled him because he laughed in your face.’

I was so angry I spat at him.

He leapt forward and fastened his hands around my throat. I heard a dog barking, the sound of a gunshot and then I remember nothing more.

 


#182:  Author: Alison HLocation: Manchester PostPosted: Tue Dec 20, 2005 9:37 am


Oh no! Please tell us that Hilary's going to be OK.

 


#183:  Author: KatieLocation: A Yorkshire lass in London PostPosted: Tue Dec 20, 2005 9:38 am

#190:  Author: tiffinataLocation: melbourne, australia PostPosted: Wed Dec 21, 2005 8:51 am


I woke sometime later to find my face being washed by Rex.
His breath reminded me rather of ham sandwiches.

I could see the trees clearly lit by the many spotlights that had been brought in.
I found I was shivering and had been covered by a soft blanket. The jacket under my head held the smell of the person who had last worn it.

Herr Moser was seated on a nearby stump- minus his jacket.
I struggled to sit up.
‘Frau Graves How are you feeling?’
I tried to talk , but my throat hurt and all I could do was to let out a squeak.

‘Herr Rutherford has confessed. It was he who murdered your husband. He had attempted to blackmail him.
Herr Doktor Graves was coming home from the Sanatorium that night and Herr Rutherford demanded additional money from him. I believe the Herr Doktor told him ‘where to go’ as you English say. It made Herr Rutherford angry so he killed the Herr Doktor.’

Rex whined and I reached up to pat him.

‘With his confession and the attempt to murder you he will go to jail for a very long time’

‘Oh I’m pleased’ I managed to squeak out.

‘Frau Graves, you are a very brave woman. Thank you. I will see you safely home.
Rex, Kommen Sie Hier!’

He helped me to my feet and almost carried me to the car.

Soon I was home again where Helen was waiting anxiously

 


#191:  Author: Alison HLocation: Manchester PostPosted: Wed Dec 21, 2005 9:22 am


Phew, she's OK and they've caught the murderer!

Wondering what Hilary will do now.

 


#192:  Author: LesleyLocation: Allhallows, Kent PostPosted: Wed Dec 21, 2005 6:32 pm


Excellent - really pleased - but still, poor Hilary to have lost Phil. Crying or Very sad

 


#193:  Author: FatimaLocation: Sunny Qatar PostPosted: Thu Dec 22, 2005 2:28 am


Phew! I'm so glad that she was all right. Thanks, tiffinata. Will there be any more (she asks hopefully)?!

Three years later

William Rutherford was sentenced to 25 years jail for the murder of Phil, extortion and attempted murder.
I know this won’t bring Phil back, but I was pleased to see justice done.

Eleanor got off with a good behaviour bond, being under age at the time she was a party to the extortion. She has taken up a career in writing and has just released her first book, a rather moralistic tale of a school set in Achensee.

Joan Bertram was put on medication and has been in therapy since. She has risen to Senior Mistress and is a successful teacher.

Herr Moser and Rex returned to Austria soon after the trial and we have corresponded ever since.

These three years have been hard. I have found who my true friends are.

I loved Phil. I know people found it hard to believe and couldn’t see what I saw in him. He was my soul mate. We made each other complete. He might have been a Lothario but I miss him.

Joey had made a confession to me. She knew we had seen her and Commander Christy in Kittiwake cove all those years ago and thanked me for not telling Jack. ‘Jack believes the twins were born prematurely’

Jack's experiences during the war left him sterile.

‘I often envied you, you know’ she continued. You and Phil had such an open relationship. You shared everything. I often wished he’d look my way, but he had his rules and I was the boss’s wife!
I named Phillipa after him because he kept my confidences.'

Tonight we are having a small farewell gathering. The Platz has become overcrowded with former friends. My chalet has been sold to another doctor and his wife.

I will be gone by the end of the week.

My daughters will be full boarders at the Chalet School. Phillip and Frank will join the Maynard boys at school in England. During their holidays they will come to me in Austria. Herr Moser has found me an apartment in Vienna.

The past three years have been about survival. Phil would want me to live again.

It’s time.

Have really enjoyed this, thank you so much. Glad Hilary was able to begin to move on in the end.
