Mrs Tamarind

Introduction

 

 

"She's not herself today, I'm afraid " says the carer. Her voice has a patronising tone.

 

Mrs Tamarind says nothing, but wonders quietly to herself...

 

a confusing image which cn be seen either as a young woman or an old woman

 

"Herself? myself? Who am I anyway?"

 

and thinks, "Go away. Can’t you see I’m busy;

I have things to consider."

                     

 

Jeannette Biggs, the volunteer Visitor asks herself, "Who was she anyway?"

 

Marie her daughter thinks, "It must be grim to be old."

 

Another visitor is walking in through the front door, looking around her at the smart

reception desk, the pictures on the walls.  No-one is there so she walks down the

corridor to where she can see a sitting room and a garden beyond. She hesitates in the

doorway and a woman in uniform by a small table looks up from what she is doing.

 

"Can I help you?" she says.
