Kim by Rudyard Kipling.


His father is an Irish soldier. He is called 'Little friend of all the world'. He identifies jewels on a tray that have been covered up (the origin of Kim's game). He has a masonic symbol round his neck (his father's).

Thank you PCG. I would never have got that. Haven't read it. I used to be a proper little "know it all". The older I get the more certain I am that I know f*ck all. But I feel wiser.

    • As a cafe, yes. And they kept all the chandeliers they hadn't sold as an antique shop still hanging up. They had a real mouse problem, quite well covered up, however. 
    • Ah yes, that's right. Didn't Chandelier sell a huge range of different kinds of tea?  That militaria shop was bonkers.
    • Spinach took over from Chandelier, which was then a cafe but had been an antique shop of the same name. Some shops up from Target Arms the militaria shop. 
    • My friend and I once did a cocktail crawl down Lordship Lane.  I think we started at Black Cherry (now Franco Manca). It got off to a good start when I knocked mine over and had to buy another one. Liquorish was in there somewhere. The crawl ended with me carrying a chair and her a set of glasses, both bought from an antique shop at some point on the crawl, can't remember where and long gone. Was it where Spinach is now? Somewhere round there. The antique shop, not Spinach!
