    Summary

    A story inspired by my holiday visit to Cornwall.
    This is going to be very much an old fashioned story. It is the late fifties, the days when couples 'were courting' or 'walking out'. If Randall was 50 at the end of the fifties, he would have been born before the First World War. At the time of the Spanish Civil War and the beginning of World War Two he would already be 30. Bel would have been roughly 10 in 1939. I have always imagined the young Randall as looking like Claude, in the Poirot story, 'Wasp's Nest', which Peter starred in, and was set in about 1937. (He was roughly the right age too).
    Anna Chancellor played Virginie in the Poirot story, 'The Chocolate Box' set round about the same time, and her right age in real life, to be the model for the young Lix.
