The Autobiography Of The Queen (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
That this was frequently the case for the customers of Austin Ford’s ‘internationally famous’ establishment (announced on the reverse of the Escort Service card along with a line drawing of a cocktail glass topped with a cherry) was confirmed by today’s batch of drinkers in the half-finished village. With a combined age of at least three centuries, the white-haired or egg-bald Canadian gentlemen, their wives in long caftans and dangling earrings hanging by the sides of their faces in an attempt to conceal jowls or wrinkles, the customers at the Rum Shop – with the exception of a solitary American male – were all Commonwealth born and reared. That their monarch, the Queen of Canada’s snowy wastes, the sovereign of high-rise cities and pine-clad mountains, leader of all those banished from a cruel homeland ruled over by kings uncaring of the Clearances and bored at the thought of this distant offshoot of Scotland far away – that this historic personage was the one who served the drinks here today, would have been surprising in the extreme to them.
