| Description: |
Joan Smith's father came to Glenthorne as chauffeur/handyman to Miss Halliday when she was nine. They moved to Porlock a few years later. She went to Countisbury school, climbing up through heather higher than her, clutching at tussocks, and running and jumping on the way back, carried by the wind. The milkman, walking down through the trees in the morning light, was a knight in shining armour. Miss Halliday befriended her, inviting her to tea and telling her about the house and its furniture.
