Daisy's Secret (2013)
“Daisy was particularly alarmed by the one which said that ‘all persons could be required to place themselves, their services, and their property at the disposal of the Government.’ Did that mean she too might be moved, whether she liked it or not? She wasn’t concerned about leaving the Chapmans particularly, but desperately needed to stay close to Megan and Trish, as well as not wanting to move too far away from Harry.
Not that she’d have minded in the least if the government had decided to mov...e her to a different job. She hated working in Mr Chapman’s office. He still insisted on coming in to see her in the post room at frequent intervals, fetching her a warming mug of tea or leaning close over her shoulder, breathing down her neck while he checked that she was addressing the envelopes correctly. Often he would ask her to stay on to help him with what he termed ‘a few end of the day tasks’, on the premise that she could be taken home in style, in his Morris car, afterwards.MoreLess
