General Information:
Wolseley-Lewis - 1930s Kiambu - Two sisters, Mrs Macphail and Mrs Fletcher. ……. They had a manager, Vair, and his wife. He was all right maybe, but she was a bitch and everybody knew it. They could not get on with the sisters, who depended on their manager to do everything for them, and they trusted them, but the Vairs were not trustworthy.
