THE ICED VOVO’S. I went happily to help the old man who was my friend. There was a parcel in a padded bag from London waiting on his front veranda. I put it in my brief case and walked down the side steps. Mrs Grant was just going out to do shopping when I asked her to let me in to get Mr Harris’s watch. Where is Mr Harris? She asked, in hospital I said, he asked me to get his watch for him. She allowed me to walk up the back steps where I went in his bedroom and got the watch from his bedside cabinet. Mrs Grant went downstairs and raced straight back up after me with a pack of biscuits to give to Mr Harris, they were the Iced Vovo’s. I put them in my briefcase with the watch and told her that the parcel came from London and I must take it to Mr Harris because it is mail. She was there when I left through the front and closed the front door. The duplicate key was misplaced and there was no keys for anybody to get in the front door. Miss Jacks had already been and cleaned the flat out, she stole two interest cheques from the bedside cabinet and deposited them to her own bank account after forging Mr Harris signature on the back of them, she was very efficient in that way because there were documents sitting around the place that had his signature on them, so it was easy to copy. She would later blame the robbery on me because she hated my guts for being so honest about everything. I cycled out to the hospital and delivered the goods to Mr Harris, he took his watch and the parcel, he opened the parcel and went through it. There was a letter there from the nursing home in London, where his older brother was living. His brother had died and all his personal belongings were sent to Mr Harris with his brother’s Last Will and Testament proclaiming him as the Baron of Scotland Castle now and he got a shock out of it. Mr Harris gave me the biscuits in repayment for helping him out after he saaid, I don’t care for the Iced Vovo’s, you can have them. It was something for me to munch on laater at home. Though I rode past the house, I never went knocking on the door while it was locked up. May Jacks visited Mr Harris the same day in hospital and stole all his money from the draw of his bedside locker in the ward and blamed it on the nurses for doing it.
