teddybear

[sami]

You never know. It would have triggered something in me,to aim it straight through the window. No wonder June had nightmares.

witty ,lookout

[sami]

even poor teddy and his pal could have half a dozen reasons for being there.the whole case is a real puzzla

[maggie]

what do we make of teddy sitting between the two pillows.who does he belong to and why was he there

Hi sami, Caroline asked Jeremy who the teddy belonged to and he said Nevill but that is hard to believe don't you think?   

It looks awful sitting there amongst the blooded bedding.

As suse has said there have been many theories, have you any ideas

[lookout]

It almost seems as though there's some significance in the teddies being there ?

You would think so lookout, wouldn't you.  It seems to be very odd to see a teddy in June and Nevill's bed but some people, myself included do believe Nevill may have been sleeping in Sheila's room that night.  Maybe because he was getting up really early because of the harvest and didn't want to disturb anyone or because Sheila wanted to be in earshot of the twins or some other reason or maybe Sheila did not sleep in there at all. and the teddy was Nevill's.

But given Sheila and her mother's relationship I can't see this happening in practice. Besides there were all Sheila's cosmetics and paraphernalia arrayed on the spare bed.

evening maggie,yes i agree for it to be neviile's is a bit far fetched .i like the theory of caroline's that sheila could have been sleeping there and not neville.also if the twins were in there before nodding off and taken to thier own beds,the teddy and his pal should also have been taken and placed next to the twins,just an opinion

[lookout]

The bedroom arrangements leave food for thought. With Neville's slippers in Sheila's bedroom too ?

Apparently 10 to 30% of adults sleep with a teddy

Yes, it makes you wonder if they had swapped rooms for some reason.  I know some people cannot believe that Sheila would sleep in the main bedroom with June but she may have done it to be close to the boys.  It was a big old house and they may have found it creepy and needed the reassurance of their mum close by.

yes i would agree with that maggie

[maggie]

yes i would agree with that maggie

Colin said Sheila was a very caring and loving mother so I find it hard to believe she would sleep in her old room while the boys were so far away the other side of the landing and the main bedroom.  They were only 6 so they were babies in many ways.  I would n't have left my 6 year olds so far away from me in such a situation.  I would doubt that June or Nevill woud be eager to get up to them if they called in the night.

Maybe while Neville was out with the dogs and/or finishing his chores in the fields.
