Walter Carroll, Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths
Northern School Of Music (NSM)
1938

Griff muses on how different his life may have turned out if he hadn't started working at Ashton-under-Lyne those years ago. He would not have been introduced to the manager and his love of reading, or her father Walter and his love of music, both of which Griff now shares.
He fears for missed opportunities as he has worked for the travel agency for so long but he tries to "improve" himself in other ways. He reckons it's the same for Ida, meeting people and working at the Matthay School of Music. "A hundred and one things can happen to any of us and influence us either for good or for ill, and I suppose it is up to everyone to work things out in her or his own mind."
