PROMISE FULFILLED
£SOO LEGACY FOR WOMAN Wife of a sergeant in the Berkshire Constabulary, Mrs Eva Bailey, of Maidenhead, is a beneficiary under the will of Miss Alice Jane Peel, of South Lodge, Workinghain, who died last October, and to whom she was maid-com-panion during the war. • In the will Mrs Bailey is left £SOO, and her daughter, Joan, aged 15, is left £IOO. Mrs Bailey stated in an interview that the legacy had come as a surprise, as Miss Peel was so good to her in her lifetime. “ I was a maid-companion to Miss Peel for thirteen years, and I left her service about fifteen years ago,” Mrs Bailey said. “ The legacy is evidently a war promise fulfilled, but the promise had passed out of my mind because of her kindness. “ When my husband, who was then a police constable at Workingham, went to the front Miss Peel said, ‘ Dp not worry: you will be provided for if the worst happens, and your little daughter will be educated.”-
