1t Is, however, two small China
porcelain fish, upright and at OPP
posite ends of the fireplace mantle
which have the greatest sentiment
tai attraction for the Churchills at
No. 10. They're good luck pieces and
the gesture which everyone performs
upon entering the room is one started
by Winston himself. You walk across
the small area between the door and
the mantlepiece and tickle the bel
lies Of both fish.
The conversation around the din
ner table this evening was not de-
sultory, though 1t wasn't exactly
sparkling. 1t just needed the Prime
Minister to needle it along, that's
all. He's the conversational pace
maker Of this household and when
absent, as now, talk lags.

There's rivalry between Mary and

Four small period chairs and a

A dozen informal camera stud

half hundred books help to give
the room feeling Of being lived
in. There are pictures of Mary,
Sarah and Diana at school age and
two photos of Randolph, one at
age ten, encased in suit size

photo of the now-Major Randolph
