You weren't tempted to shake it? You've reminded me of losing a glove en route to see my dad in the convalescent hospital in Felixstowe. (An op resulting from privations etc as a PoW in WW2.) My mum was cross - I guess she had knitted it and money was tight after the war. I don't think we found it. And of course, as a little child, I had no idea of what she had been through and was going through.
