Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths, Robert Jaffrey Forbes
1940

Griff is planning to sell tickets to Penzance before the train fares increase on the first of May. He advises Ida that if she's travelling in May to book her tickets on the last day of April.
If there was a sliver of a change of a glance of her out and about he would not have spent his evening in doors with friends, but knows she's incredibly busy.
"I do believe that cad R.J.F. was rolling his eyes at you from stalls to balcony because you are so attractive! To think that the day has dawned when I am jealous of that cad R.J.F!" Forbes was the principal of the Matthay School of Music's 'rival', the Royal Manchester College of Music.
He claims that "you won't cure me of sleeplessness if you serenade me beneath my bedroom window - it's the front one overlooking Broadhill Rd. But try it by all means - I should join you in two seconds and we could have a nice walk back from Didsbury."
