Poor Malvolio, and Young Nunks
Malvolio still lying in the same place. I check up on him every now and then. He has changed his position, and is dozing.
Just done a painting from a snap of my stepfather as a young man in the late nineteen thirties. This was taken when he was in his early twenties. He won a scholarship to Cambridge, had bought the books and met his tutor, then just before he was due to go up, his father was chatting with a colleague who told him that university was a complete waste of time and that he should do his articles and become an accountant. His photograph was probably taken after this, poor chap.
