Miss Alice Teeple, found wrapped in steak-paper in a dumpster as an infant by a drunken sailor, was raised by a kindly, elderly widow  known only to the neighbourhood as Mrs Whatsit.  She spent her childhood playing with pinecone dolls, and a loveable St Bernard named Peaches, upon whom Miss Teeple would ride to the cinema thrice weekly to catch the latest in silent greats. As an adolescent, Miss Teeple founded a sock-puppet theatre for the benefit of local orphans.  She also patented a type of shoe-heel that concealed a small telegraph, but her invention never caught on to the general public. The irrepressible Miss Teeple married twice: once to a Belgian nobleman until his untimely death in 1928 in an unfortunate yachting accident; and to celebrated English novelist Basil Thyme-Cardamom in 1933.   Her five children all found success in television and music production.
