#1: The Conversation Author: Gerrie, Location: Ireland PostPosted: Mon Dec 05, 2005 12:11 pm

Hello

I am pretty new here and have never posted a drabble before. This one is a short fill in. I don't know if it has been done in the past, but if it has my apologies in advance. I always wondered what went on in this conversation.....see below


The mist was down on the mountains, which usually made the day seem magical rather than dreary at this time of year. It always amazed her to think that if the clouds cleared somewhat she might see the top of the mountain peeking out of them. Today, however, she felt nothing. Turning back to the room she began to make the bed again. Smoothing the covers she turned to the sideboard, re-arranging bottles and boxes. She opened the wardrobe door and gazed unseeingly at the rows of neat uniforms and began to check them for creases. She started to pull out the shoeboxes below and then suddenly stopped and sat back on her heels. Swallowing quickly she stood up and returned to her ironing. When she had ironed the same handkerchief three times she sighed in frustration.

‘I’ll write a list.’ She heard herself say the words and she reached for her trusty journal. She wrote ‘Tasks to do today’’ at the top of the page in her precise handwriting and then stopped. Panic began to set in. She didn’t know what to write. For the first time in her life she didn’t know what to do. She stood up again and began to straighten another plumeau.

A knock on the door interrupted her thoughts. She had asked not to be disturbed. Tempted not to open the door, she mentally shook herself; someone might need her. She opened the door and her face fell. Squaring her shoulders she moved back to let the visitor in. ‘Oh Lord’, she thought ‘I don’t have the strength for a fight.’

Oooh - is this Jack's conversation with Matron from Excitements after her sister has passed away? I'm looking forward to seeing more even if it's a completely different incident!

Thanks Very Happy

Thanks, Gerrie, for taking the courage to post so soon after you've joined the board. It took me 3 months! I'm really enjoying this so far and I'm looking forward to finding out who the woman is.

Thnks for this, is there any more of it?

 

#6:  Author: Fatima, Location: Sunny Qatar PostPosted: Mon Dec 05, 2005 1:54 pm

A wonderfully intriguing start, thank you, Gerrie!

 

#7:  Author: Gerrie, Location: Ireland PostPosted: Mon Dec 05, 2005 3:36 pm

Wow Mia, spot on...am I so obvious!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Her visitor looked a lot more confident than he felt. He had been mentally rehearsing what he would say when he saw her. Never having crossed her before he was unsure that he would succeed but as soon as he saw her face he knew that she needed him, which put him on more familiar ground. All his previously rehearsed words fled and as she turned from closing the door he took her in his arms and much to her surprise she let him.

She didn’t know how long she stood there taking comfort from the unfamiliar physical contact, the silence and the look of understanding she had seen in his eyes.

‘Matey dear, I heard the news about Lilian. I am so so sorry.’ She pulled away, his voice breaking the moment and summoning all her will power she managed to look him in the eye.

‘Thank you Jack. You are very good to come.’

‘I came to take you home to Freudesheim.’

“How good of you. Today is not a really good day for me, but I will call in over the next few days, I haven’t had a chat with Joey in a while.’

‘Where is your coat?’ Jack turned as if she hadn’t spoken toward the capacious wardrobes at the end of the san.

‘Jack’ she responded firmly with her most withering look. ‘I know Hilda called you and I really appreciate your concern and your kindness in coming here today, but I will cope with this, as I cope with everything in my life, in my own way and in my own time and in private.’

Jack had known he was in for a fight but he thought the direct approach was worth a shot.

‘This is not like everything else Matron. Just come for a night. Please. You should be with people today.’

‘I am surrounded by people here. I will be fine. Please thank Joey for me.’ Matey was shocked when Jack sat down in the armchair at the window. She had used her firmest voice and her most intimidating stare. Then it came right back at her.

‘I am not leaving this room without you Matron,’ Jack said calmly. ‘You can keep arguing as long as you like but you won’t win this one. You are coming back to Freudesheim to be with your friends. And stop trying that look on me. It won’t work. I am not afraid of you.’

‘You can stay there as long as you like but I will make my own decisions thank you. I am not afraid of you either Jack.’

Jack crossed his arms and gazed back levelly at her.

‘We are at an impasse then.’

‘So it would seem.’ And Matey turned her back on him and made to continue with her work.

This is excellent, Gerrie! I hope we get to see te rest of the conversation soon.

It must be tough for Matey to let herself open up.

Ooh this is great, thank you Gerrie.

*hugs Matey*

Lovely, thanks Gerrie.

 

#12:  Author: Chair, Location: Rochester, Kent, England PostPosted: Mon Dec 05, 2005 7:17 pm

Thanks, Gerrie. The people in the conversation wasn't obvious to me. I hope Jack will persuade Matey to return home with him. It's a long time since I read 'Excitements' so I can't remember what happens next.

I'm really enjoying this.

Thanks Gerrie.

Looking forward to more of this, Gerrie

 

#15:  Author: Gerrie, Location: Ireland PostPosted: Mon Dec 05, 2005 7:44 pm

Hi

Thanks very much for all your comments.....heres more - I have got nothing else done today...!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Jack sent up a brief prayer for help and then tried again. He wanted to break her awful calm but he knew Matron and would not insult her intelligence. As if realising her rudeness she picked up some mending and took the armchair opposite as if this was a pleasant social visit. It meant that she didn’t need to look him in the eye. The silence stretched to five, then ten minutes before he spoke again. He changed tack.

‘What was Lilian like?’ The gentle question caught her off guard and Matey looked up from her mending. Perhaps he was going to leave her alone to grieve after all.

‘She was lovely.’ Came the simple and achingly sad reply. Matron smiled. ‘She was very good to me. She always worried I had never married and especially after Mother and Dad died she made sure I felt her home was mine, her family was mine. She always made it clear that I was always welcome and that I always had somewhere to go. That I was not alone in the world. She would probably say that I looked after her as I am the elder sister. But in truth it was the opposite. Though, I probably never let her know that.’

‘I am sure she knew’ came the quiet reply. Matron hardly heard it, lost as she was in a jumble of memories of her little sister.

‘She has been ill for a year now. The last time I saw her I should have realised how bad it was but she kept it from me, or I chose not to see. I should have been with her. I offered to come back for the operation but she asked me to wait until she was recuperating as she would need me then. Oh Jack what was I thinking? ‘ The anguish in her eyes was so raw in direct contrast to the grim control in her voice.

Jack didn’t reply, didn’t want to interrupt the flow, afraid that if she stopped talking she would retreat even further.

‘Eric called me this morning. Such a fool I am, I expected it was to make travel arrangements, that he needed me there when Lilian came home. But it was to tell me she was dead.’ Her voice caught and only a supreme effort of will stopped her breaking down altogether. ‘I must get him to leave’ she thought desperately. But then, brutally honest with herself as always, she realised she didn’t want him to go.

Silence fell again as Matey fought for control. Jack, knowing the power of silence said nothing and waited patiently for what came next. Eventually she felt it was safe to speak again. ‘I am all alone in the world now. There is no-one who remembers me as me, not as Matron who rules with an iron fist and who always knows the right thing to do. No-one who knows where I came from and what made me who I am. Only Lilian knew my weaknesses and faults and loved me anyway. I am the only one of us left Jack. Have you any idea how terrifying that is? There is hardly no-one left but Eric to call me Gywnneth. Nobody even knows my name. Who am I if no-one knows my name?’

Jack leaned forward. ‘You need to listen to me now. You are not alone in the world. You have so many people here who love you and who will never let you down. My God, Gywnneth, we all owe you so much. Let us help you now. Come back with me.’

She shook her head, though with less conviction than before. ‘I need to work this out Jack. I need to keep myself together to cope with it. If I let it in it will destroy me.’

It was his turn to shake his head. ‘You are wrong. If you don’t let this in it will destroy you. Grief will have its out, one way or the other. It will creep up on you and demand your attention. Let yourself grieve for your sister Gywnneth. You need to do that for you and for her.’

She looked back down at her mending but could not see it clearly. Then she heard Jack’s calm voice again.

‘When did you last sleep?’

She shrugged, a most uncharacteristic gesture. ‘I am fine Jack.’

‘When did you last sleep?’

‘I don’t know’ she replied honestly. ‘Three, four days maybe. I haven’t been able to eat or sleep since she had the operation.’

He wasn’t going to let her off the hook. ‘And exactly what would you do Matron if I had just said that to you?’

‘Please just let me be Jack’ she pleaded.

‘I’m sorry, but I can’t.’

Matey was silent for a long moment. Finally she raised her head to face her friend and said words she never thought she would ever say.

‘Jack, I don’t know what to do. All I know is I have to keep moving, keep working and maybe the pain won’t crush me.’

He took one of her hands in both of his.

‘I do know what to do Gwynneth. Just for today let me make the decisions. Just this once.’

He waited for her response. Finally she nodded briefly and he seized his chance.

‘This is what you are going to do. You are coming over to Freudesheim with me now. You are going to rest and let us mind you for once. You are going to give yourself time to grieve for Lilian and you are going to survive this.’

He gently released her hand and then realised Hilda was standing in the doorway. Wordlessly she went for Matron’s coat. Jack helped her stand up, put her coat on her and with his arm protectively around her shoulders, led her firmly from the room.

That was very powerful and moving Gerrie, thank you.

 

#17:  Author: Fatima, Location: Sunny Qatar PostPosted: Mon Dec 05, 2005 8:15 pm

Thank you, Gerrie, that was lovely. I always feel so sad for matey when she says that there is no one left to call her Gwynneth. How dreadful to feel so alone. You have captured her so well in this story, her strength and determination and her sorrow.

 

#18:  Author: Jennie, Location: Cambridgeshire PostPosted: Mon Dec 05, 2005 8:37 pm

Thank, Gerrie, that was wonderful. I think you've caught the essential Matey there, devoted to her duty, and refusing to let other people down, but with the sadness of feeling alone in the world.

 

#19:  Author: Lesley, Location: Allhallows, Kent PostPosted: Mon Dec 05, 2005 8:42 pm

That was lovely, Gerrie. Thank you.

 

#20:  Author: Mrs Redboots, Location: London, UK PostPosted: Mon Dec 05, 2005 8:55 pm

But this is marvellous - you have captured the characters excellently, and written it so that, even though we know what will happen, it's not clear that it's going to, if you see what I mean!

Do carry on, and if this is typical of your output, I hope we see lots more!

 

#21:  Author: Alison H, Location: Manchester PostPosted: Mon Dec 05, 2005 9:24 pm

How lovely Jack's being. He must be wonderful with his patients. I also felt so sad for Matey when she said that there was only Eric left to use her first name.

 

#22:  Author: Chalet_school_lover, Location: Gloucester PostPosted: Mon Dec 05, 2005 9:27 pm

That was simply lovely! It really captured the mood! I love the way you write! Is that the end?? I hope we see lots more drabbles from you in the future! Thank you very much! Very Happy

 

#23:  Author: Gerrie, Location: Ireland PostPosted: Mon Dec 05, 2005 9:32 pm

Thanks very much for your lovely comments everyone - its not quite the end but I haven't figured out how to write the next bit yet....bear with me! I do love the SLOC so its nice to write about him!

Smile

 

#24:  Author: Carolyn P, Location: Lancaster, England PostPosted: Mon Dec 05, 2005 10:52 pm

This is lovely Gerrie, and such a sensitive portrayal of Jack as well.

 

#25: conversation Author: Tara, Location: Malvern, Worcestershire PostPosted: Mon Dec 05, 2005 11:12 pm

Thank you so much for this, Gerrie. You've exactly captured, not only the outward Matey with her indomitable spirit and blazing independence and honesty, but the inner Gwynneth trying not to fall apart with grief and loneliness. 'Who am I if nobody knows my name?'
Very skilful, very moving.
More, please.

Thanks Gerrie. It's really very touching Crying or Very sad

 

#29:  Author: Mia, Location: London PostPosted: Tue Dec 06, 2005 12:13 pm

It was a flukey guess Gerrie, because I've just finished reading Excitements.

That was lovely, I really liked your characterisation of both Jack and Matron - absolutely spot on

Echoing the call for lots more drabbles please!

 

#30:  Author: Identity Hunt, Location: UK PostPosted: Tue Dec 06, 2005 2:23 pm

Gerrie, this is marvellous, and sooo sad !
Poor Matey - and jolly brave of Jack to tackle her Shocked
Please write more soon Laughing

Thank you, Gerrie, this is so moving, and showing a very tender side to Jack.

Thank you all again for posting. It is a real confidence booster, believe me! The next bit....

-------------------------------------


Matron lay back on the pillows in the pretty guest bedroom at Freudesheim, all energy spent. She was relieved when Joey had left to see to lunch. Joey had been so kind, but Matron didn’t know how she could ever face anyone again. She tried to close her eyes but though she was exhausted sleep wouldn’t come, her head was spinning and she was consumed with anger and guilt and despair. The knock at the door went unnoticed and then it opened.

‘May I come in?’

‘Of course.’

Jack came over to the chair at the side of the bed and sat down.

‘I thought you would be asleep. You look exhausted.’

‘I can’t sleep. I can’t seem to stop my mind racing. Maybe I’m afraid of what sleep will bring. I keep thinking about what I should have done. I should have gone home for the operation. Last holiday I spent a week in Italy when I could have been with her. I didn’t write to her enough. I wasn’t there when she needed me. I have been so caught up in my own life and now its too late to do anything for her.’ Her eyes were wild as she looked up at Jack.

Jack surveyed her for a long moment, then he reached out and took her hand again.

‘That’s quite enough Gywnneth. You did nothing wrong. None of this is your fault. If we thought of all the things we should have done in any given situation we would go mad. You loved your sister and she loved you and this is a terrible tragedy for you. You and she had a great relationship. You have absolutely nothing to reproach yourself for.’

Jack could tell he wasn’t getting through. There was no response from Matron. She needed rest badly but she was giving herself no chance of any. He had to somehow find a way to make her give way to the grief. He continued in an almost conversational tone.

‘Lilian sounds like she was a wonderful woman. Don’t you think she deserves your tears?’

Gwynneth’s eyes never left his as he said this and quietly those tears began to leak down her cheeks. She brushed them away impatiently, but to her horror they would not stop. As she lay there fighting the inevitable it was Jack’s quiet voice that broke through the last shred of her self-control.

‘Its alright to let go Gwynneth. Just let it go.’

She turned her face into the pillow at that and was overcome by a storm of weeping such as she had never experienced. Jack didn’t move or speak, but held her hand so she would know she was not alone. When finally the sobs slowed, he handed her his handkerchief, pulled the plumeau more closely around her shoulders and waited until she finally fell asleep.

 

#35:  Author: MaryR, Location: Sale Cheshire PostPosted: Tue Dec 06, 2005 7:33 pm

At last now she can start to heal a little.

Lovely, Gerrie. Thank you.

 

#36:  Author: francesn, Location: away with the faeries PostPosted: Tue Dec 06, 2005 8:35 pm

Well done, Jack. I can't think of many other people who would be able to break through Matey's seemingly calm exterior to the woman who lay beneath.

Thank you very much Gerrie

 

#37:  Author: BethC, Location: Worcester, UK PostPosted: Tue Dec 06, 2005 9:55 pm

Thank you, Gerrie - this is really good.

 

#38:  Author: Cath V-P, Location: Newcastle NSW PostPosted: Tue Dec 06, 2005 11:15 pm

This is such a lovely sensitive and perceptive Jack.
Thank you.

 

#39: conversation Author: Tara, Location: Malvern, Worcestershire PostPosted: Wed Dec 07, 2005 12:51 am

What an authentic picture of the guilt which seems inseperable from loss, because none of us can ever feel that we have done enough; but how wise and gentle Jack is being as he directs Gwynneth towards the love she and her sister had for each other:
Quote:
If we thought of all the things we should have done in any given situation we would go mad. You loved your sister and she loved you


This is really sensitive writing, Gerri. Thank you.

 

#40:  Author: LadyGuinevere, Location: Leicester PostPosted: Wed Dec 07, 2005 11:06 am

Thanks Gerrie.... a beautifully moving piece. Crying or Very sad

 

#41:  Author: Gerrie, Location: Ireland PostPosted: Wed Dec 07, 2005 3:21 pm

Hi

This is the last bit. Thanks again everyone for your comments. I have really enjoyed writing this.

-------------------------------------------------

Jack Maynard pulled into the drive at Freudesheim. Night had fallen and the air was chilled. The lights glowed from the house and he knew the children would be in bed and Joey writing in her study, waiting up for him. He had looked in on Gywnneth briefly before leaving for the San that morning, but she had been sleeping and apparently had slept right through from when he left her yesterday until late this afternoon. The front door opened and Joey was framed in the light. He walked tiredly to the door and smiling she pulled him into the warmth.

Seated in front of the fire with a glass of wine, he relaxed listening to Joey recounting the day at home. Apparently Gywnneth or as Joey kept calling her ‘Matey, I mean Gwynneth’ had roused during the afternoon and had some Kaffee und Kuchen before dropping off again. He resolved to check on her before turning in, but for now he enjoyed a rare quiet moment with his wife.

A dim lamp was on in the guest bedroom when Jack opened the door. Matey looked like she was sleeping, but stirred when the light from the landing streamed in.

‘Jack?’

Jack came over to the bed, noting automatically that though she looked like she needed to sleep for a week, the terrible strain from yesterday was gone from her face. ‘How are you Gwynneth? I hear you slept well today.’

‘Yes, I did. I thought I would never be able to sleep again, but I didn’t even dream. I can’t thank you enough for all your kindness Jack. I don’t know what would have happened to me if you hadn’t arrived yesterday to march me off.’

Jack grinned and despite all his responsibilities and all that had happened since, Matey was reminded of the young doctor in his twenties she had first met in Die Rosen all those years ago.

‘Thank you for believing my bluff that I’m not afraid of you.’

‘Don’t be ridiculous Jack’ came the tart reply.’ Of course I didn’t believe you, I was merely humouring you.’ And Jack saw a glimmer of humour in the eyes that just yesterday had held nothing but shock and despair.

‘You are a strong woman Gwynneth’.

‘And you Jack are a very good man.’

He smiled again. ‘Thank you. It means a lot to me to hear that from you. Is there anything you need?’

‘No thank you. I am much better now. I will go back to school tomorrow.’

‘You will not!’

“Listen Jack…’

‘No, you listen. The world will not stop turning on its axis if you take a few days off. Gertrude Rider is covering for you. There is no reason for you to rush back. Take some time. If you really want to leave I can’t stop you, but why don’t you sleep on it and see how you are in the morning? You are welcome here as long as you like. Do you want me to switch off the light?’

‘No thank you.’

The question had effectively ended the conversation before Matey could protest further. Despite his words Jack had no intention of letting her leave until she was well enough.

Jack turned to leave the room. On impulse he turned back.

‘Yesterday you told me that Lilian made sure you knew you always had somewhere to go. You should know that you will always be welcome here, whenever you want to and for however long you choose.’

Gwynneth put her hand out, not trusting herself to speak, and squeezed Jack’s hand. She felt safe for the first time since Lilian got sick and she knew that as Jack had said, however hard it was going to be, she would survive this.






The End

 

#42:  Author: Josie, Location: London PostPosted: Wed Dec 07, 2005 3:32 pm

Lovely ending and a lovely drabble (really need to find another adjective!).

Thanks Gerrie. Kiss

#47:  Author: MaryR, Location: Sale Cheshire PostPosted: Wed Dec 07, 2005 9:29 pm

A lovely exposition of grief, Gerrie, and Jack handled it beautifully - and you did too.

Thank you.

 

#48:  Author: Cath V-P, Location: Newcastle NSW PostPosted: Wed Dec 07, 2005 11:02 pm

She has someone who knows her name and a sense of safety. Now she can start to move forward.

 

#49:  Author: Lesley, Location: Allhallows, Kent PostPosted: Wed Dec 07, 2005 11:08 pm

Thank you Gerrie was such a thoughtful and perceptive drabble. I can so identify with Matey's guilt at all she hadn't done - so true.

 

#50:  Author: Michelle, Location: Near London PostPosted: Wed Dec 07, 2005 11:52 pm

That's a beautiful story, Gerrie. I really enjoyed it. Next time I read Excitements, I'll come and read this at the appropriate point. It was good to see the softer side of Gwynneth, and Jack really is a lovely man.

Michelle

 

#51:  Author: Rosy, Location: Gloucestershire-London-Aberystwyth PostPosted: Thu Dec 08, 2005 8:27 am

That was an interesting read. Nice to see the softer side of Matey, and to see that she was allowed to grieve. Sometimes the whole stiff upper lip thing doesn't exactly work!

 

#52:  Author: Jennie, Location: Cambridgeshire PostPosted: Thu Dec 08, 2005 1:14 pm

Thanks, Gerrie, that was a very human side of Matey.

 

#53:  Author: francesn, Location: away with the faeries PostPosted: Thu Dec 08, 2005 1:42 pm

That was so full of barely concealed emotion. Thank you Gerrie

 

#54:  Author: dackel, Location: Wolfenbuettel, Germany/Cambridge, England PostPosted: Thu Dec 08, 2005 5:00 pm

Thank you, Gerie, this was very moving. Matey always seems so strong and selfßsufficient that you hardly ever wonder on what exactly her strength is based. And to lose her sister like that obviously took the earth out from underneath her feet. Poor Matey, I mean Gwyneth.

I really liked Jack in this drabble, too - he is so much more perceptive than usual!

 

#55:  Author: LizB, Location: Oxon, England PostPosted: Thu Dec 08, 2005 11:17 pm

That was beautiful - Thank you Gerrie
