I didn't see this myself, SW, but I gather Richard has mentioned the situation to Susie.
I really do wonder about that letter now though, if it was solicited - it would have been easy enough for Dickie's sister to say, simply, that Mum was out of hospital, was feeling a bit better, fingers crossed and so on, without all the detail. I'm not suggesting that Richard had anything to do with it, but up to a point, that did seem like a letter that was calculated to inspire a certain set of emotional responses, none of which would have shown Richard in a bad light, exactly.
Ok, to be sure, I'm a horrible cynic, but there's a hundred grand on the table, which Richard, however inadvertently, however much he might despise this kind of thing usually, is nevertheless still a lot more likely to be taking home with him after the news that just came in the post. |
