Mae Landon

Mae Landon

Mae Landon was a very elegant woman, always properly dressed, walked elegantly, with flashing brown eyes. She was not the kind of person who would bother to explain things to people (like in the stout story). She would sit very elegantly and never let her back touch the chair. One of Mae's ancestors was a designer for the royal family in England and had a musical education. She often suffered from headaches and Kenneth would massage her. She died from cancer and the moment she died Kenneth knew. He then received a cable saying just so.
