1996 - Elaine rang and suggested we meet up. She thought her eldest son was interested in following a legal career and she wanted some advice from me about how he could get on to the road of being a solicitor.
I went up to see her on my day off. It was a lovely sunny afternoon. I was shocked by her appearance. She was very fat, her slimness temporarily taken away by a new concotion of steroids. She also told me she had put herself forward for some more experimental treatments in the hope they would do some good.
We had a long chat and I gave her some pointers about how Jack could pursue a legal career, like I had done. We said goodbye in the sunshine at the railway station.
I never saw her standing up again.
