.....
‘I know’, Rich says with a shudder. He hates hearing the name as much as I hate saying it. Even thinking about its owner makes me feel as if I might throw up. Rich turns away, and I wonder if his cartoon-like fears of a murderer on the prowl at The Morrow are a comforting distraction for him. His true terror might be the same as mine: that we will never be able to get Kitty away from Vinery Road; that she will be trapped in a classroom with Philip Oxley for another four years.
The Morrow is an independent day school in Hampshire with extensive grounds and beautiful gothic buildings of pale-grey stone. From the look of it, there might be as many mullioned arch-topped windows as there are students. The head teacher, Dr Nina Adebayo, is a stocky, muscular woman in her mid-forties with short, no-nonsense hair. She’s wearing a red trouser-suit with a white blouse and red high-heeled shoes. She takes me to her office for a chat, once we’ve dropped Kitty off with her possible future form teacher and classmates.
