"Henry Tudor died at Richmond today," said Old Fox conversationally over breakfast, as though it had happened that very morning. "How sad, had he been ill?" replied Babcia. She wasn't really listening, as she was engrossed in a newspaper article about The Flying Duchess, who was at that very moment heading home in her little plane from Cape Town. "Consumption, and terrible trouble with his eyes. Constantly dropping in Celandine juice, which just made it all the worse." said Old Fox. "You know, his son didn't realise until days later, everyone had to creep around with smiling grimaces to pretend he was still alive. Very odd times. I think everyone was still hoping that dear Arthur would return to life." And with that he went to make some more tea and toast another round of crumpets.
