She arrived in London only yesterday - essentially to study music (she plays the violin} and photography. She came to London because she is determined to start her independent adult life far from home. She wants to prove to herself that she can manage on her own. She is sitting in a small cafe now, a cup of hot tea in front of her. Geraldine lights a cigarette and spreads The Guardian over the table She's staying with a friend of hers, but the sooner she finds a room or a flat to rent - the better.
