Charlotte mentioned: “The teddies needed to be in a selected order on his four-poster mattress, from the most important on the again, all the way down to the smallest on the entrance.

“All 72 of them. Every needed to be fastidiously positioned. They had been old style teddy bears — the Steiff ones — and almost all of them had sailor fits on and hats.

“It took me half an hour to rearrange them — most weird factor to be paid for.

“Then at bedtime I needed to take all of the teddies off and prepare them across the room.

“They every had a set place. We needed to stack the smaller ones in an unused hearth, once more in measurement order, to make them look fairly.
