Regimental Marches of The British Army

... But how would a retired ex-officer from a protected environment of a medieval hospice at the other side of London end up at this part of the city where immigrants from all over the Commonwealth have found refuge? Why did he wear his official uniform, and did he indeed fall victim to an accident? ...


THE PLOT CONTINUES:

Night has fallen over London ...
It took pains for Burombo to guide his two step-mothers away from the place of the incident along the river Lea. Back in his flat, he is even more worried when he realises that they want to investigate the mysterious event themselves, especially since both of them are strangers in town.
Furthermore, he is preparing to accompany Lainet back to Zimbabwe — for an extended holiday, the first since his arrival in Europe ...

... so he arranges a meeting with a friend from his office to help them around.
Next morning, Lainet and Gertrud meet Clarissa ...

... and both accept her proposal that she would guide them to Chelsea
and its famous "Royal Hospital" ...
