What a lovely post, Charles. Thanks so much for writing. I trust all the old wounds are long healed.
Like a lot of the others here, I adored Davy, who was a hero figure to me. I used to run action-adventure mind-movies inside my head at night after lights out, featuring me and Davy and Georgie getting up to various exciting exploits, usually involving horses and dogs. (I was too little to be interested in any romantic angle - still at the age when those were the boring bits.) To my utter mortification one night, my dad came into my room and told me to quiet down and go to sleep - I had been speaking my "lines" out loud! Davy was a truly wonderful childhood companion.
