She remembered when she was eight years old, Susan was chosen to be a duchess in her school play.

“ I woke up that morning and there, hanging on the door, was the most amazing dress, It was lilac. This was a fairytale dress”

Greenfield's mother, Dorice also recall making it.

“ I stuck loads of cottonwool on, then dotted blobs of ink to make look like ermine. On the stage, it looked really good.”

They glance at each other and Susan Say.

“ That is the sort of thing a loving mother will do for a daughter. Not telling you, either, so you wake up and there's a real surprise.”

More than half a century has passed since then. The little girl has became famous scientist, author and broadcaster. She also a life peer and when she stood up to make her maiden speech in the House of Lords, dressed in robes, and her mother was watching from the gallery. The story makes both of them glow, as they sit together on a big leather sofa at Baroness Greenfields flat in Oxford.
