"I
can remember three ladies of the town, that lived in a beautiful
house in Upper Parliament Street. And there was another lady who
had a most gorgeous flat in Rodney Street. I would say this lady
was a bit coarse to say the least, but she had a beautiful mink
coat and she never wore slippers. She had ostrich feathered mules.
"On
one occasion I had to go to her house to deliver two pairs of shoes
and two pairs of slippers on a special order because she had visitors
arriving. A lady came to the door and then a voice came down, ‘Come
up love, come up.’ I went up and couldn't believe what I was looking
at. There was the most gorgeous grand piano in this flat and a music
teacher. She was learning to play the piano. The flat was out of
this world, unbelievable. "
