Memex in the rain

Today there is a brief respite in the rain, and as he hurries across Seven Dials, Tom Purdue decides he must plan a break. He pops into Venus de Milo holidays, the travel agency run by Gustaf McSweeney (the retired teacher) and his wife Emelda Bush (who incidentally is a cousin of Vannevar Bush the computer scientist who invented Memex, an early prototype of the Internet). McSweeney is the travel agent who arranges holidays for all those who do not arrange holidays themselves (previous customers include Stanislav Godel). Emelda runs the local folk dance class together with Yevgeny Huxtable. On his way home Tom Purdue wonders whether McSweeney ever takes a holiday, and if so who arranges it for him.
