Newlyweds, Ken and Daisy come to London for the first time to visit Rita and Jeffery. Ken describes Daisy over the phone as "frail"; she turns out to be aged at forty, straggly-haired and walking with a cane. Rita's friends in Wales have told her only that Daisy is a nurse, very sensible and very good for Ken, whom she meets in the hospital after one of his climbing accidents. Daisy turns out to be Lilly's mother's nurse long before, when she is known as Peggy. She'd felt the name Daisy to be undignified for a professional. She reverts to Daisy when she matures and wants not to insult her parents' name choice. At the restaurant, Daisy charms everyone.
