But Cas had a bad habit, a very bad habit, she liked to play cards for money &#8211; but she wasn\u2019t very good at it. I expect the hotel was the very worst environment for someone with a gambling problem like Cas. One family story describes how Harry (one of Cas\u2019s brothers) regularly sent money to his mother Hannah. When asked if the money he was sending was enough she replied \u2018What money!\u2019 Cas had been intercepting the payments, probably telling herself she was sure to be able to double or treble the amount at the card table.<\/p>\n<p>Unsurprisingly Cas was not very well off when she retired and lived in poor circumstances in a rented garage. Further family memories say she had red hair and a terrible temper.
