Clive's mother, Monica Wilmott, with her golden hair twisted about her head "was like a falcon, a jar of honey, a spray of rosemary." Victorian at heart, she had, years before, rebelled against the fast vulgarity of the military set in India-but since her husband's death she had supported herself and her son: the office, the antique shop, the millinery establishment had made her something of a modern...
