poor Aunty came up, she had waited a long time and then went up to the bank and found out from Dick that Walter had gone home, so she followed, when each ones evidence had been given and the mystery of the mix-up unravelled we all had tea - after which we talked till after Dick came home. Nice day, cloudy & cool.
