This story is set in colonial Kenya in the 1920s and 30s. The Happy Valley crowd actually existed, as did the house called Clouds as described at length in the movie 'White Mischief' based on the book by the same name.

The highway that descended down out of the foothills into the Yakima Valley was nearly deserted even though it was mid-afternoon. The late December sky had turned a slate gray to signal an oncoming snow storm. My car moved along easily, occasionally side slipping on a patch of black ice, but nothing dangerous. I'd driven this road many times over the years....

It was Valentine's Day and my girlfriend, Pamela, and I had arranged to go out for a nice romantic meal that evening. We had, luckily enough, managed to get a reservation at a local restaurant and so I arranged for a taxi to collect us from her house. Pamela was three years younger than me, and last month we had celebrated her eighteenth birthday. I had bo...
