Liz Moody’s Dulwich Life is written by Anna Sayburn, inspired by Gainsborough’s portrait “Mrs Elizabeth Moody and Her Two Sons”. It imagines how Mrs Moody might live today.
Ran round harassing people all day, and finally got all the olive oil money. Put the assorted cheques, notes and coins in an envelope to present to Mr M this evening. Was surprised to see his briefcase in the hall when I got home at 3pm.
He was sitting at the kitchen table looking very tired.
‘Ta-da!’ I said, and showed him the £102.
He rubbed his eyes and looked up at me. ‘The hedge fund’s gone bust, Liz,’ he said. ‘It’s all over. I’m so sorry.’
I’m not sure what we’re going to do.
