It is difficult to think of Patsy Markham being dead. She had so much presence. So many of her qualities were expansive without being crude. Like a portrait, she was even dramatic when she was still. She was as lively on the phone as she was in person. The list of things you can easily associate with her is characteristic: eye masks, pekinese, a make-up case as big as a medicine chest, dressing gowns with a train, extra large eggs, caravans, jewellery. Her eye make-up was always bright, even on days when she was not. Her laugh was enormous and all the more enjoyable for it. She brought glamour to her surroundings.
