Chronicles of the Cradle has been updated with "The Cane-Man"! The eccentric Cane-Man enjoyed his visits to the place every week. Without fail, he would turn up every Tuesday afternoon, precisely at 4.05pm, at the front gate. The items he carried were all but predictable: a bouquet of tulips (courtesy of the peasants' market nearby) and a chocolate bar. The bouquets were always for the nurses ("his little boy's mothers", as he affectionately termed them), while the bar was for his little precocious darling. The inmates' uprising two years later changed all that. Mr London, as expected, was shattered by the sudden turn of events, and would have jumped into the raging inferno of the Cradle were it not for the intervention of firefighters. He watched with tears of rage and frustration as the flames cremated his family's heir alive, the screams of the dying children to be forever etched into his memory.
