She was done weeping and wailing. Her back straightened and steel set in her spine. She raised her head, more determined to find Nev than ever. She was Barbara Wilson. And no one was going to make a divvy out of her.
As she walked on, she remembered something. One evening when she’d been in the flat upstairs, there was a knock at the door. After a brief chat on the doorstep, Nev had said he was popping out for ten minutes to discuss business with the caller. While he was out, the phone in the flat rang. She was absolutely forbidden to pick up Nev’s phone and was sometimes ordered out of the room when he answered it. But as he wasn’t there, she’d picked it up. The voice was smooth and Cockney. ‘Alright, darlin? Can you pop Neville on the blower?’
‘He’s just stepped out.’
‘No problem. Can you ask him to call the Go Go Girls Modelling Agency in Soho? We’ve got some work for him. He’s got the number, sweetheart, but I’ll give it to you anyway …’
‘OK. Can I tell him who called?’
The man seemed amused. ‘Me? I’m the proprietor, love. My name’s Stanley Miller.’
