Billy Kincaid, the Camden Garrotter. Best man I ever knew. Vast contributions to charity, never disclosed. Personally managed to save three hospitals from closure and ran the best and safest children’s homes in north England. Yes, every now and again there’d be some garrottings, but stacking up the lives saved against the garrottings, on balance I’d say –
For my wedding! For me. I need a best man. Maybe not a garrotter.
“so if i didn’t understand that i was being asked to be best man, it is because i never expected to be anybody’s best friend. and certainly not the best friend of the bravest and kindest and wisest human being i have ever had the good fortune of knowing”
Put me back in London. I need to get to know the place again, breathe it in. Feel every quiver of its beating heart.
