Searcher Bacon

Yesterday's Poirot included, both in story and in episode, female searchers, so I was amused on return this morning from a Ewell Village Clockwise (with the Cheam turning extension) to read in Bacon Volume II (see 18th April) of his adventures with same. See the large middle paragraph in the illustration left. One suspects that the officers' wives involved might have been a bit brusque and boarding school about the whole business.

My nearest contact with such people was when on a visit to an establishment near Feltham (not the young offenders institution, at least not when I was there), where the brick built guard room included one room labelled male search and another labelled female search. Probably more brusque than boarding school.
