Breakfast time was at 9.00am whenever Sir Clive was at home. He sat at the head of a large oval table, this time flanked on his right side by the two Asian girls Rita and Mai, on his left were Pip and Emm. Eve never ate breakfast, Franco could not stand to be in the same room as Sir Clive and nobody ever knew where Cairo was at any given time so the table was only half occupied.
The girls, Rita and Mai, were dressed like whores, all lipstick and cheap jewellery. Pip and Emm had on their ‘breakfast’ dresses, neatly ironed Gingham check. None spoke except Sir Clive, apart from the occasional giggle from Rita whenever Anjelica appeared with another tray of food, the ordeal lasted for about forty minutes before Pip and Emm could excuse themselves. They hurried upstairs to their room and locked the door behind them.
