The end of Malcolm, long live Malcolm.
Malcolm senior was pretty depressed. He was getting old and tired, so he transferred his property deeds to Malcolm junior and didn’t have the energy to do anything more. He despaired of ever getting a grandson. Meanwhile his grand-daughters were, of course, not getting much attention.
Baby Miseria, forgotten in a cot in the garage, grew to toddlerhood.
They’re quite cute kids actually. But Malcolm senior discouraged his son from giving them much attention. They got fed and cleaned and that’s about it. Melina was by now heavily pregnant, but Malcolm snr didn’t live long enough to see whether it would be another grand-daughter or the much wanted grandson. His end came just as he got back from work.
He was just 68.
Celine grew to school-age.
Then Melina finally gave birth – to Malcolm VI. The grandson came too late for Malcolm IV but Malcolm V was relieved. He couldn’t concentrate on business with a constant stream of screaming babies.
