A letter written by Nellie Schwabe to Randolph Schwabe: 11th January, 1946: “Gustave, after vain attempts to get 10 Herbert Crescent repaired, has sold it and gone back to Malvern and hopes to get a flat or small house later on. It’s very hard on the poor old things when they have lived a set life in one spot for so many years” – Paper Mill House, Standon, Herts. [Nellie is the daughter of Robert Stephen Schwabe and Kini Myandera, Robert was Randolph’s uncle.]

On a visit to his Schwabe relatives at Herbert Crescent (near Hans Place Garden in London), Henry Man (then a young boy) recalls being given a plate at lunch on which there were some buttered peas. These he found extremely difficult to place on to his fork and so they would often roll off and back on to his plate. Each time, Gustav would roll his eyes to the ceiling.
