Death in Titipu
By Barbara Yates RothwellTrafford Publishing
All rights reserved.
'I was always thought, as a young person, to have a rather fine voice,' Miss Teresa Glencosset was saying in the well-rounded tones familiar to her students. 'There was talk of my undertaking a singing career. But it was considered by my parents to be a hazardous future for a young woman, and common-sense prevailed.'
She directed her wolfish smile swiftly around the company assembled in the Green Room. 'So my little annual foray into G and S is for me a small acknowledgement of "what might have been".'
'What would you have sung if you had turned pro?' someone asked. Miss Glencosset raised thoughtful eyebrows and regarded a poster of last year's Pirates absently.
'Opera, I think. I always felt I had the presence for it.'
'Makes a bloody formidable Katisha, anyway,' Stephen Harcourt muttered to his neighbour. 'I blench every time she advances on me. Never know whether she's going to embrace me or swallow me.'
Jasper Spenlow stretched his arms above his head and yawned. A general sense of movement replaced the inertia that had itself replaced an outpouring of energy on stage throughout the evening. After a week of rehearsals, Jasper felt that musically, at least, Mikado was progressing according to schedule. Little Dulcet Merridew collected the coffee cups (that was Dulcet for you, always the willing slave), and carted them off to the tiny kitchen; Jasper's wife, Maggie, picked up scripts and vocal scores and strode out again on to the stage to make sure that nothing of value had been left.
He watched her; no amount of activity, no rehearsal traumas, ever seemed to recue that nervous energy to the level at which most people existed. She would be that way until bedtime; and then, as her head hit the pillow, she would be off into sleep, storing up more energy for what the morrow might bring. He envied her.
The Reverend Charles Culbert, vicar of this parish of St Edmund, gave out a sigh and rose from the depths of the one comfortable chair. With his long, angular legs and a perpetually solemn expression, he was rather too like a praying mantis to be taken seriously out of his usual milieu. In the pulpit he had a certain distant charm, as if by being physically lifted above the common people in the pews below he had somehow achieved a sort of spiritual loftiness; why he found the annual romp of the Gilbert and Sullivan production so attractive, Jasper had never understood. On the face of it he was no actor. But something clicked once the costume and the grease paint were on; then the Rev Mr Culbert came to life, and there was something about the sight of their vicar representing the morally devious Pooh-Bah that gave the groundlings particular pleasure.
Culbert looked across the room to where Molly de Vance was discussing costumes with Mary Harcourt, whose nimble fingers came into their own at performance time. Molly was standing with her back towards him, and after a moment he turned, nodded to Jasper and the others who were preparing to leave, and went out into the night.
He walked slowly towards the rectory, which would be clammy and unwelcoming because he had forgotten to build up the wood stove, and because there would be no one there to greet him. It was a matter of astonishment to him that after a lifetime spent in almost monastic seclusion (of his own choice, for he was basically a solitary man) he should recently have developed a strange craving for human company.
The evening was pleasantly cool; but it is likely that he would not have noticed had icicles hung by the wall. For the Rev Charles was prey to emotions until now unknown to him. There had been (he recalled this dimly as down a long corridor of time) a young lady, earnestly bespectacled, for whom he had felt affection during his final university year. They had drunk coffee together, walked a couple of times across the campus, and then — why, he could not now remember — lost touch with each other. But that gently warm, wholly chaste relationship had nothing to do with the extraordinary and highly alarming sensations now consuming him in a most improper manner.
O my dove, that art in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the stars, let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice ...' he yearned. But the night was silent, give or take a strident red wattle bird or two, and the roar of Dave Shafto's motor bike as it sped away from the theatre.
Young Shafto's mind, like all Gaul, was divided three ways. In one compartment were the pages and pages required to be learnt before he could claim to have the role of Nanki-Poo under his belt; in another he maintained a kind of human computer that listened to the volume of sound coming from his vehicle and analysed it, piston-stroke by piston-stroke; and in the third was a dark cloud of foreboding that he tried hard to ignore, but which was coming closer, growing ever more threatening, reducing him to frightened, shaming apprehension.
In defiance, shaking a metaphorical finger at fate, he revved the engine and shot through the sleepy town at full speed, avoiding a confrontation with the police by seconds.
Simon Lee, product of an English mother and Chinese father, locked the theatre door and shook it to make sure. As president of the society this year he took his duties very seriously. He opened his car door, singing in a pleasant baritone voice Three little girls from school are we ...' It struck him as quite odd that this mock-Japanese comedy, relating back to a time when the Japanese were simply people who lived a long way away and wore funny clothes, should still be popular in a society that had seen its fill of the horrors of a militaristic regime storming down through the islands of the Pacific.
He switched to 'to make the punishment fit the crime ...' and remembered, briefly, his father, whose contact with the Japanese had involved punishment where no crime had been committed. Mr Lee senior had died of it.
Stephen and Mary Harcourt walked home. It was only five minutes, door to door, and it had been a long and busy day. Mary did complicated calculations in her head, five metres of this, ten of that, and a good length of something for the sashes — 'obis' they called them. Mary did crossword puzzles, so she knew the word well. 'Light blue on purple looks rather nice,' she said, but Stephen didn't answer.
He was engrossed in his own thoughts. This was a bad time for 'Mikado' and his business interests to collide. He enjoyed the part of Koko (saw something of his own duplicity in it, if he was honest), but with this big property development just coming to the boil it was a nuisance to have to give a part of his mind to the frivolity of a Savoy Opera. 'Tit-willow,' he hummed; 'tit-willow ... tit-willow!'
'The girls are good,' Mary said as they pushed open the garden gate. She meant the school-girl trio. 'Pattie's a natural, don't you think?'
He grunted. 'Not so keen on the Percy girl. Sings sharp.'
'That's just nerves. She'll do well. And Corinne ...'
'Pretty girl! Sympathetic. Should go far.' He based his knowledge of her on a brief encounter backstage during last year's Pirates when she had taken seriously the blackened nail — gained through a too hearty effort with the scenery — which Mary had failed to coo over.
As they closed the door behind them an ancient utility clattered past, loaded beyond good sense with the bower bird collection of bits and pieces that would go to make a successful show. 'Bingo' Rafferty, props man extraordinaire, had a Midas touch with junk, transmuting it into sets, furnishings and all the paraphernalia of theatricality. His weatherboard house, on the edge of town, was one of the local sights, almost lost beneath piles of this and heaps of that, an eyesore or an Ali Baba's cave according to one's standards.
A mile further on, where the landscape had been sculpted into conformity but was close enough to the raw bush to warrant the description of 'countryside', Miss Glencosset locked her garage door and made her way into the dark confines of the headmistress's house. Behind it stood the solid block that was St Chedwyn's School for Girls. In its dormitories lay seventy-five young ladies about to be unleashed on to the world; and in the morning another one hundred would be bussed in for the day's dose of learning.
St Chedwyn's was Miss Glencosset's glory, her raison d'etre, the emergence from a life spent in doing the will of others; sometimes, when there was no one looking, she patted the dark-brick walls to let them know how deeply she cared, how much they meant to her.
With Stephen Harcourt as Chairman of the Governors, Jasper Spenlow dividing his time as Director of Music between St C's and the state high school in the next town, and a staff bending to her every whim, she felt a sense of security, of power, of educational rightness, that carried her up to her bedroom in a cloud of euphoric pleasure.
Molly de Vance tied a gaily-coloured scarf over her red curls and waved crimson finger-nails towards Michael Kowalski, whose attempts to get her into his butcher's van for the short trip home had once again been neatly foiled. He stared after her with frustrated longing, his broad face hiding nothing of his feelings.
'Silly thing!' Molly thought as she clipped her way across the road. 'Do I look like a butcher's wife? Honestly!' She recalled for a fractional moment the other eyes that had regarded her across the room, and grinned to herself. She'd had a bit of fun teasing the poor old thing — but she certainly didn't see herself as a vicar's wife! Come to that, she wasn't that keen on the word 'wife', anyway. It had a narrow, constricting sound to it. Not like 'mistress', 'courtesan', even 'de facto'. Though from what she'd seen of her friends, 'de facto' wasn't much cop, either. It was still a man's world. Not easy for a woman to take her fun on the run, even in these permissive days. Not in this poky little town, at least. She wondered if it would be more to her liking in Sydney. Perhaps she should travel again ...
She reached her driveway and was aware that the butcher's van had taken a sudden turn of speed and shot past her. She grinned again, secretly. Silly twit! Couldn't take no for an answer.
CHAPTER 2Bella Parkinson measured a neat distance from the edge of the window and carefully placed a handbill where it would be seen, using precise little pieces of sticky tape to secure it. Then she stepped outside the shop to check that it was properly aligned. That was Bella. She liked things to be just so.
Above her the newly painted shop front announced 'Chester Parkinson, Pharmacist'. It gave Bella much innocent pleasure to see it. It was a name with dignity; and Chester lived up to it. No one would ever call him 'Ches' — he was the sort of man who commanded respect, and this meant a great deal to her. She felt that if he had given her nothing else, he had bestowed a kind of status upon her; and she managed to be grateful for it. A mischievous imp whispered in her ear as she went to the back of the shop that she would have preferred a couple of children — or even a dog, a small one that she could cuddle on her knee. But she silenced the imp with a shake of her head. That was all behind them now. It was partly her fault, anyway. They should have talked it over before they married.
'Mrs Lambert's pills are ready,' Chester said, slapping a label on the packet. 'And we're nearly out of that new line of soap.'
'I'll put it on the order, Chester.'
It seemed to her sometimes that they were playing a game together, as if one day Chester had said, 'I know, let's pretend I'm a chemist, and we'll have a shop and you can be my assistant and we'll wear white coats and dole out pills and cough medicine and everyone will respect us.' And she had said, 'Oh, yes, Chester — let's!'
And so they had done, for nearly twenty years; and sometimes she wished that they could play something else for a change — fish and chips, or ladies' knitwear, or fruit and vegies. But that was silly, because Chester had qualified as a pharmacist all those years ago, and if you were a highly respected qualified pharmacist that was what you did.
So she enjoyed these few weeks in the year when she could forget who she was, just for a while, learning words and music and steps in Jasper Spenlow's chorus. Last year she had been in 'Pirates', the year before in 'Yeomen'; and Chester, not aspiring to the stage but believing in marital solidarity, undertook the role of treasurer to the society, and often sat in the darkened back of the theatre while Bella pretended she was somebody else.
This year it was more exciting than usual, for during the auditions Jasper had regarded her with a calculating eye and then suggested she should understudy for Katisha. 'You've got the quality of voice,' he said, 'though too small. Can you sing louder? Well, anyway ...' and she had gone home in a state of twitter that had taken all her acting ability to hide from her husband.
'Good auditions?' he had asked without looking up; and she had nodded and taken off her scarf and subdued her inner exuberance.
'Very good, thank you, dear. Jasper was very pleased.' She hesitated only briefly. 'As a matter of fact he's asked me to be one of the understudies — for Katisha.'
Chester had glanced up over his glasses. 'Katisha? Good lord! You? You're nothing like Katisha!'
'He says I have the quality of voice. Though small.'
'Well, I must say I don't agree with him. I always see Katisha as a bit strident — a bit on the coarse side. Surely he must have someone more — more ...'
'Well,' Bella said, not disappointed, because Chester had such high standards and would offer opinions, as he often said, without fear or favour, 'he seemed to think ...'
'Anyway,' her husband said, going back to the shop accounts spread before him on the table, 'Miss Glencosset is never ill, so they won't have to call on you.'
Bella went through to the bedroom and stood before the mirror, examining herself with a critical eye. Now that she thought about it, the idea was clearly ridiculous. She didn't have what Miss Glencosset called 'the presence'; her face was placidly middle-aged — though perhaps with make-up.? And above all, she was not a dominating person. Which both Miss Glencosset and Katisha indisputably were.
With some fervour she wished Teresa Glencosset well for the run of the operetta.
Miss Glencosset was indeed in excellent health. Perhaps a little overweight these days — headmistressing tended to be more sedentary than classroom teaching had been — but she kept to a strict regimen and included a game of tennis in her busy day whenever the opportunity presented itself.
The secret of success, she had found, was to have a programme and stick to it! This was what she always told her girls. Each day was carefully planned the previous evening, and in this way she was able to include not only the essential activities posed by her job, but also such personal pleasures as her annual involvement with Gilbert and Sullivan. The desk diary pages were gradually engulfed as the year moved on by precise lines of detail, the skeleton or blue-print or what-have-you upon which her life depended.
Running parallel with this framework were the other diaries, in which more personal matters were immortalised. They were splendid leather-bound books, fleshing out the bones of the daily round; her raw material, she hoped, for the autobiographical work she intended to write in her retirement.
Tonight, after rehearsal, she sat at her desk under the gentle light of the electrified oil lamp and planned the day to come, pinning it down with times and places as precisely as a butterfly captured in a showcase.
'3.30 pm: visit of Prof Ed Pultry, to discuss development of studies in biology.
4.15 pm: tea in study with Prof E.P.
4.45 pm: Prof E.P. leaving. See Matron about Muriel Smith's impetigo.'
Once the day ahead had been netted and secured, she turned to the current leather-bound repository of her more evanescent thoughts and feelings.
'Excellent rehearsal. J Spenlow meticulous as always. A fine music director, in spite of everything, bearing out the promise of earlier years!! His wife's overall direction imaginative and inspiring. But sense that all is not ...' (she stopped, searching for words), 'is not as they would have us think.' (A bit vague there; she would be more precise when she knew better what the situation really was).

In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.

Unless stated otherwise below, the provision of your personal data is neither legally nor contractually obligatory, nor required for conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide your data. Not providing it will have no consequences. This only applies as long as the processing procedures below do not state otherwise.
"Personal data" is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.
Responsible person
Contact us at any time. The person responsible for data processing is: Ansas Meyer, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück Deutschland, +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, mail@preigu.de
Collection and processing when using the cancellation button
If you have entered into a contract via this platform for which a statutory right of cancellation applies, the platform provides you with a cancellation function (cancellation button) through which you can submit your notice of cancellation immediately.
When using the cancellation function, your personal data (name, email address, details identifying the contract or part of the contract you wish to withdraw from, and the time (date and time) of sending the notice of withdrawal) will only be collected to the extent that you have provided it.
The purpose of data processing is to provide you with the statutory option to withdraw from your contract and to ensure the proper processing of your withdrawal.
The platform operator collects your data on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, namely the legitimate interest in ensuring the general accessibility of the statutory withdrawal function on the platform. You will receive a confirmation email from the platform operator acknowledging receipt of your notice of withdrawal.
The data is then transmitted to us by the platform operator.
If the contact relates to a contract already concluded between you and us, this data processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. Otherwise, data processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR, to fulfil a legal obligation to provide an electronic withdrawal function.
We use your email address solely to process your notice of withdrawal. Your data will subsequently be deleted in accordance with statutory retention periods, provided you have not consented to further processing and use.
Collection, processing, and transfer of personal data in orders
When you submit an order we only collect and use your personal data insofar as this is necessary for the fulfilment and handling of your order as well as processing of your queries. The provision of data is necessary for conclusion of a contract. Failure to provide it will prevent the conclusion of any contract. The processing will occur on the basis of Article 6(1) b) GDPR and is required for the fulfilment of a contract with you.
Your data will be shared, for example, with shipping companies, dropshipping or fulfillment providers, payment service providers, service providers for order processing, and IT service providers. We will comply strictly with legal requirements in every case. The scope of data transmission is restricted to a minimum.
Duration of storage
After contractual processing has been completed, the data is initially stored for the duration of the warranty period, then in accordance with the retention periods prescribed by law, especially tax and commercial law, and then deleted after the period has elapsed, unless you have agreed to further processing and use.
Rights of the affected person
If the legal requirements are fulfilled, you have the following rights according to art. 15 to 20 GDPR: Right to information, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, data portability. You also have a right of objection against processing based on art. 6 (1) GDPR, and to processing for the purposes of direct marketing, according to art. 21 (1) GDPR.
Right to complain to the regulatory authority
You have the right to complain to the regulatory authority according to art. 77 GDPR if you believe that your data is not being processed legally.
You can lodge a complaint with, among others, the supervisory authority responsible for us, which you may reach at the following contact details:

Right to object
If the data processing outlined here is based on our legitimate interests in accordance with Article 6(1)f) GDPR, you have the right for reasons arising from your particular situation to object at any time to the processing of your data with future effect.
If the objection is successful, we will no longer process the personal data, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that outweigh your interests or rights and freedoms, or the processing is intended for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.
