Tenniel Evans, Don't Walk in the Long Grass: W. J. Carter was a Francophile bachelor who farmed a neat and prosperous stretch on the far side of the stream we called Little Porgies. We all thought him a bit of a joke, for he was always neatly dressed in dark clothes and sported a stick and an immaculate pith helmet. He was portly and pompous; he had a neat Hercule Poirot moustache; and I am sure that I once saw him in spats. We were wrong about him, though; he was immensely generous and, I suspect, lonely; and he bore a great admiration and affection for my mother. It is more than likely that he saw what a tough row she had to hoe keeping the family going. Father never liked him and made a great many jokes at his expense and became cross because he said W. J. always smelt of garlic. Perhaps he felt threatened. Certainly, my mother usually took his side and defended him gently whenever we jeered. I know that it was he who paid my passage when I came to England.
