I love the different Beatles members *checks notes* an eight-year-old boy, the ghost of a Victorian man, your mom and a woman whose rich husband just died under suspicious circumstances
John and Paul also came to see [Len, while he was ill in hospital with tubercular meningitis]. “I could see a close bond had formed between them while I’d been ill. They came to see me once out of hours, not at the proper visiting time, and had to escape through a French window into the garden when the nurse arrived. They then stood outside making silly faces at me as the nurse gave me various tests. “George came to see me on his own. He was now a proper member of the group, but I didn’t really know him well. He was at my school, but a year younger. I really appreciated his visit as he seemed so understanding and caring.”
