    Bob had been admitted to Musgrove Park Hospital about a fortnight before suffering from sclerosis of the liver, kidneys and throat. ( Sclerosis is the hardening of a tissue or part due to chronic inflammation.) As Bob didn’t drink or smoke its origin is a mystery but being very overweight may have had something to do with it. Heidi (Bob's daughter) had been told that her father had a 50% chance of recovery.

    Heidi and her brother Kali had been taking it in turns to visit Bob every day, and Heidi and her husband Andrew had taken their children Héloïse and Hermione to visit their grandfather the previous Sunday.
