"Pamela had no memory of the conversation although she was present, and Robert's account was therefore designated heresay, along with a remark Nevill was said to have passed about Jeremy, which Barbara Wilson repeated to Colin: 'I must never turn my back on that young man.' Today, Babara muses: I think that came about because they'd had a row and Jeremy threatened him. I can easily imagine him after a row, telling Mr Bamber, "You want to watch your back, Dad, when you're out shooting"'.
So BW admits it's all down to her imagination!

Barbara - How are you Mr Bamber? Are you sure you're not ill?'
Are you ill"?
Neville - slowly shook his head. 'No Barbara, but we're all going to die at some stage, aren't we? Though I wouldn't be surprised if it happens to me while I'm out shooting.'
