Content and context

Beaton is an angel to spoil Caspar. The gifts were perfect and Caspar will love Beaton forever. Not only was it both bear and gun, but Ian had confiscated his pistol for being unpleasant 'so it was a splendid revenge to stick a Tommy gun into Ian's ribs at teatime'. The hotel is miserable. It has a swimming pool outside with a loudspeaker which constantly announces the results of races. Wishes Beaton a success with the play and thanks him for being a kind and imaginative godfather.
