Tuesday, Dec. 24, Christmas Eve, 1912
Jack walks down from Consett to Benfieldside with his mate Steve Barron. It’s been a busy day, as poor weather has delayed some orders, keeping them from reaching the various pubs of the Northeastern Brewery. For much of the morning, Jack sat by the phone taking calls and relaying messages to the office. He’s 14 and a half, and he’s been at the Royal Hotel since August. He lives at home with his father, the Chauffeur and general factotum to JGMurray at Benfieldside House and his mother and his younger brothers, Billy, 12, and Spencer, 7.
