Letters From Watson Liveblog - Apr. 5

The Yellow Face, Part 2 of 2

I'm going to talk about this story having already read the ending. With that being said, I really like how confident Sherlock is, because usually this sort of explanation from him is right! But this time the explanation is very, very incorrect, and I think that's the best way to play a "Sherlock is wrong" story.

I can see why he would think the death certificate was faked. After all, the original supposedly burned in a fire in Atlanta and she had to get a duplicate to show her new husband. To Holmes, it likely sounded a bit too fishy.

Even Watson doesn't really buy Holmes' theory about the blackmailing leper husband or whatever, but it's good that Holmes is willing to reconsider based on new information. Although that is par for the course for him.

"Any truth is better than indefinite doubt" huh? I think there's a certain Miss Mary Sutherland who would be very willing to question your commitment to that saying, Holmes.

Look, the truth is good and all that, but I do think it's a bit out of character just how much Holmes and Watson are going along with this. No patient waiting or more serious investigation. Just heading straight in, and nobody can stop them.

What a twist! And Holmes was so incredibly wrong!

Also, man, I was really taken aback by that description. Not the fact it was a little girl who's black, I remembered that, but the words used to describe her.

On one hand, an interracial marriage back then probably could have gotten you killed, and I can see how, living in such a harsh and unfortunate reality, a mother would want her child to have lighter skin just so life would hopefully be a modicum easier for them. Still, reading that line now really does make you cringe.

Stop calling her that! What the hell, you know it's a little girl now.

An incredibly sweet ending, that I could have easily imagined going a lot worse. Grant Munro, or "Jack" as his wife calls him for some reason, is ultimately a good guy in my books. He's neither racist nor unwilling to raise another man's child, two pretty different barometers for a good person that he definitely passed.

I don't think the Norbury thing ever comes back again, but I'm hoping I just forgot and Watson does indeed say it to Holmes as a sweet callback moment.

The Yellow Face. A nice story in the end, all things considered.

Hell yeah, it's Mycroft time.

The Adventure of the Yellow Face, by Arthur Conan Doyle, first published 1893, later collected in The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes

this is honestly probably one of my favorite stories in the original canon because it's a story where Holmes actually makes an incorrect deduction. much like a Scandal in Bohemia, Holmes assumes he knows something and is taught a lesson about how even his analytical mind is victim to the biases of his era. The Yellow Face is one of the stories where Holmes has to face his racism. The content warnings for The Yellow Face are as follows: Terminal illness, anti-black racism

a summary

the story opens with Holmes pouting about the lack of a case to solve. he and Watson return from a short walk to find that they've missed a visitor that left his pipe behind. Holmes performs a classic deduction about the owner of the pipe: he was fraught with worry and hence why he forgot his pipe, that he values his pipe due to repairing it instead of replacing it, that he was muscular, had good teeth, is left handed, and is wealthy. the man eventually returns to retrieve his pipe. his name is Grant Munro, and his case concerns his wife, Effie Munro.

Grant says that Effie was previously married in America, but her husband and child died of Yellow Fever. she moved back to England where she met and married Grant. their marriage was great! except for one day where Effie asked her husband for 100 pounds and begged him to not question why. he complied.

two months later, Effie was witnessed sneaking out of their home to a remote cottage in Norbury nearby their home. Grant followed Effie and sees her conversing with a figure with a "yellow face". suspicious, Grant broke into the home to find it empty, but found a finely furnished room with a picture of his wife on the mantle.

Holmes agrees to help with the problem, and will travel out to Norbury to see this figure with the "yellow face" himself. He postulates to Watson that the person in the cottage is actually Effie's first husband, he survived his illness and has come to England to blackmail her for remarrying another man.

Holmes and Watson travel out to Norbury a couple of days later. they witness Effie going into the house and charge in. there they find the figure with the "yellow face" is actually a young girl wearing a mask. she's Effie's daughter, Lucy, with her first husband, who was a black man, making Lucy a mixed child.

Effie explains that her husband did die from yellow fever, and Lucy was infected too but survived. Effie wanted to move back to England but Lucy probably wouldn't have been able to make the move while she was recovering, so she opted to have Lucy move later. once she received notice from Lucy's nurse in America that she was well enough to travel, that was when she asked for the 100 pounds to move Lucy and her nurse to England and house them nearby. Effie was worried that if Grant knew that her daughter from her previous marriage was mixed, Grant would divorce her and possibly do something worse, so she kept Lucy a secret for the time being.

Grant picks up Lucy in his arms and kisses her head. he tells Effie that they can discuss it later at home and that he's a better man than Effie assumed him to be, indicating that he still loves his wife and has a heart open for his new step-child as well.

Holmes and Watson return to Baker Street, where Holmes says one of his iconic lines:

Watson, if it should ever strike you that I am getting a little overconfident in my powers, or giving less pains to a case than it deserves, kindly whisper 'Norbury' in my ear, and I shall be infinitely obliged to you.

an analysis

as i mentioned in my introduction, this is one of the stories where Holmes' preconceived notions are challenged. his initial proposition of the blackmailing husband is certainly plausible based on the information that Holmes received, however it is a biased proposition. Holmes doesn't consider that Lucy survived, thinking Effie to be the victim rather than the orchestrator of the events.

i really like the idea that Holmes is still a fallible human being, prone to making mistakes, making incorrect deductions, and having prejudices due to the environment he lives in. a lot of adaptions make Holmes into an inhuman calculating machine that is always correct, making him into a cocky weirdo with a superiority complex. this story knocks canonical Holmes down a few pegs, reminding him to be more objective in his deductions.

The Yellow Face is incredibly sympathetic to interracial marriage as well, which i really appreciate. remember this story came out in 1893! for reference, interracial marriage was still illegal in the United States until 1967. the UK has technically has never had laws against interracial marriage, however no one can tell me that the colonial Victorian British Empire had a whole lot of positive things to say about people of different races.

this story hits a personal note for me, being a mixed race child as a product of an interracial marriage. its quite rare to find such a view point on interracial marriage and mixed children, especially as early as 1893 when to a lot of people it's still a hot button issue today. i still remember having it brought up as a possible debate topic in high school when we did our debate unit in English class. i'm unfortunately used to callous indifference to the feelings of mixed race children while people challenge the union of the loving parents that created them. i love being told that i shouldn't exist because bigots say that my parents should've never married. that's a sarcastic joke by the way, but it's not funny because it's happened before.

a conclusion

recently i was looking at infographics of all of the Holmes canon published by The Guardian by Adam Frost and Jim Kynvin. they point out that there's not an inconsequential amount of stories where there is simply no crime committed.

The Yellow Face obviously falls into the category of no crime being committed, but it does point out that there are quite a few stories where there isn't a crime at all. i can think of a few other at the top of my head where there's just misunderstandings, accidental deaths or deaths as a matter of bad circumstances. i certainly didn't think that number was that high though! 10 instances in this infograph mean 10 whole stories where there's no crime being committed.

this story also isn't one that's very popular to adapt as is it seems. the wikipedia page for this story only lists a few TV and radio adaptations of the story. in fact, the most notable reference to this story is in… BBC Sherlock where the yellow smiley face that Sherlock paints on the wall of the flat. sure. the BBC show also has a version of that quote i pointed out at the end of my summary from season 4 episode 1:

Sherlock: Mrs. Hudson. Mrs. Hudson: Yes, Sherlock? Sherlock: If you ever think I’m becoming a bit full of myself. Cocky or overconfident. Would you just say the word “Norbury” to me. Would you? Mrs. Hudson: “Norbury”? Sherlock: Just that. I’d be very grateful.

to be honest, i'm almost grateful there's a lack of adaptations for this story so it can be preserved as is, just due to the nature of the subject matter it addresses. i can't say i'd be too happy if someone attempted to adapt it and botched the nuance of the story i so appreciate.

a fun thing though, the 2005 The Classic Adventures of Sherlock Holmes on American radio show Imagination Theatre adapted this story, with John Patrick Lowrie as the voice of Holmes. if you don't know who John Patrick Lowrie is, he's done a lot of voices for Valve produced games like DOTA2 and Half-Life, but you'd probably recognize him the most as the Sniper from Team Fortress 2. i wanted to see if there's a deerstalker cap cosmetic for sniper, and turns out Steam users Sith Happens and tasteekakes made that happen:

they also created an item set for Medic called "Eliminating The Impossible" which is a combination of the Private Eye Hat and Nine-Pipe Problem. the set's effect states "Equipping all items in the set causes the descriptions of the Goldfish, Pocket Lint, Cheese Wheel, Banana Peel, Barn Door Plank, Secret Diary, and Damaged Capacitor to change. It also reduces the Medic's mystery solving time by up to 88%, though this effect is purely cosmetic and has no effect on gameplay. " both of these objects and the set name are obviously references to the Holmes canon, which i just appreciate greatly.

2024 EDIT!

here's some extra content to this particular posting of my review from 2 years ago because i didn't include any other people's reviews on this story for fear of what i would uncover. here is a tumblr post from user wisteria-lodge about the story if you want back up that it's actually a pretty good one.

Letters from Watson: The Adventure of the Yellow Face

Part 2: The Fun Bits - includes spoilers

Once again Holmes doing good detective work by looking into the wife's background and any possibility of her papers being available.

However both he and Munroe are jumping to conclusions due to their absolute lack of information about America: suffice to say that if, as I think, this takes place somewhere in 1883-1885, Mrs. Munroe has a perfect right to be frantic about the continued safety of her mixed-race child, especially if her husband did not actually die of yellow fever.

Not that she wouldn't have cause for concern at any other time, but a rich black man in the south in the late 1870's or early 1880's is going to have an extremely complicated life, due to the backlash against reconstruction and the ongoing virulent racism.

Illegal but worth it - this sentiment is going to come up again, but in a case where it will actually be warranted.

The language regarding little miss Lucy is rough and the actions of Holmes and Watson are hasty, but this actually is more heartwarming with context and a concrete date. Yes, the American civil war was over almost twenty years ago, but it, and the previous existence of slavery, would have shaped John Hebron's entire life whether he was born free or not.

Although Mrs Munroe expresses wishes that her daughter were less black, there is the fact that life might be easier for her if she was to mitigate it. Also, although at the time of publication it was surely easy to read Mrs. Munroe's wishes as focused on her daughter's future, there's definitely some unexamined racism in there too. After all, you can love someone and still have an unconscious bias against other members of their demographic.

Letters From Watson Liveblog - Apr. 3

The Yellow Face, Part 1

I like how Watson immediately tells us that Sherlock makes a mistake in this story. It definitely prepares us for how surprising the truth may be and how Sherlock fails to be the one to uncover it.

They've reached the point in their relationship where they can just take pleasure in each other's existence, silent and sweet. It's a very nice image coupled with Watson's wonderful description of early spring.

The beginning of this story is full of charming moments. I like this one especially for just how familiar Sherlock and Watson are with one another. They've done this routine countless times, and clearly aren't tired of doing it again.

I like this juxtaposition here that reveals just how desperate Mr. Munro is. He's a reserved man, but then he "throws reserve to the winds." You expect one thing out of him, but then he does the opposite.

The titular "Yellow Face." The description reminds me somewhat of the way Mr. Hyde was described in his story, with the fact that there was something inhuman and unnatural about him, but people didn't know what. Here though the color plays a big part.

I think anyone would be feeling the same way if their partner were sneaking out in the middle of the night and was lying about it. It's the sort of thing there's rarely a good explanation for.

Honestly, Mr. Munro is being way more reasonable here than he has to be. Imagine literally being on the threshold of the secret your partner is keeping from you, something they will blatantly lie to your face about, and you acquiesce.

Oh, that is so suspicious. Especially since it's a photograph he requested, so it feels like even more of a betrayal.

This story is definitely another in the vein of ones where open and honest communication might have prevented any problems from occurring at all.

Also, I just realized that she's been calling him Jack the entire story even though his name is Grant Munro. I don't know why that is.

The Adventure of the Yellow Face (The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes #2) by Arthur Conan Doyle Review

Plot

Grant Munro thinks his wife is being blackmailed. He's distraught and hires Sherlock Holmes to find out the details. He tells the story to Holmes and Watson of a strange apparition at a nearby cottage recently rented, of his wife's visit to the cottage at 3 in the morning when she thought he was asleep, and her recent break in amiable behavior. Holmes ponders and then states that he believes he has the answer. Yet, in Watson's summary of the case, he indicates that it was a failure. What did you say?

Discussion

I may sound like a broken record, but this caught me by surprise! I honestly believed that the mysterious figure with the yellow mask/in the cottage was Effie's first husband (turns out, he passed away in America. I suspect it was racially motivated since Effie treated Lucy like a dirty little secret. Plus, her fear that Grant would leave her the minute he found out about this. I also recognize that he could've simply died due to illness, but it was never confirmed).

Interestingly, this whole case could've been resolved if Effie and Grant communicated properly. I loved how Grant instantly accepted Lucy, it was a sweet moment :).

The Yellow Face pt 1

Now and again, however, it chanced that even when he erred, the truth was still discovered. I have noted of some half-dozen cases of the kind; the Adventure of the Musgrave Ritual and that which I am about to recount are the two which present the strongest features of interest.

Aha, so Sherlock isn't going to solve this one. Interesting. I feel like ACD uses this device specifically to make his audience want to beat Holmes at his own game.

Sherlock Holmes was a man who seldom took exercise for exercise’s sake. Few men were capable of greater muscular effort, and he was undoubtedly one of the finest boxers of his weight that I have ever seen; but he looked upon aimless bodily exertion as a waste of energy, and he seldom bestirred himself save when there was some professional object to be served.

This is the most relatable Sherlock Holmes has ever been, and he's been pretty damn relatable. Well, not the boxing thing. But the wanting exercise to have a purpose thing.

Save for the occasional use of cocaine, he had no vices

Just the cocaine. 'He didn't do any drugs - except the cocaine, obvs' feels a bit like saying 'He never drives - except for the drag racing'

For two hours we rambled about together, in silence for the most part, as befits two men who know each other intimately. It was nearly five before we were back in Baker Street once more.

Wow... I'm trying very hard not to do queer readings of these stories (idky, I just feel like it's obvious) but sometimes things come up and I know phrases have changed in meaning. But is there any doubt as to why people romantically link these characters?

“This is Grosvenor mixture at eightpence an ounce,” Holmes answered, knocking a little out on his palm. “As he might get an excellent smoke for half the price, he has no need to practise economy.”

We get to see his encyclopaedic knowledge of tobacco ash in action. Not just a reported skill.

Then he has bitten through his amber. It takes a muscular, energetic fellow, and one with a good set of teeth, to do that.

When I was a small child who had just graduated to glass rather than plastic cups, I used to bite bits out of them. I wasn't particularly strong, although I did have quite good teeth back then. I was just quite stupid and didn't understand the consequences of my actions. However, I have never smoked a pipe, so don't know if biting down on it is a traditional part of the experience.

“It’s a very delicate thing,” said he. “One does not like to speak of one’s domestic affairs to strangers. It seems dreadful to discuss the conduct of one’s wife with two men whom I have never seen before. It’s horrible to have to do it. But I’ve got to the end of my tether, and I must have advice.”

Is this going to be another story where Holmes tells people to talk to their spouses?

From every gesture and expression I could see that he was a reserved, self-contained man, with a dash of pride in his nature, more likely to hide his wounds than to expose them.

Hey, Watson. Look at you reading people. Good for you.

And now, since last Monday, there has suddenly sprung up a barrier between us, and I find that there is something in her life and in her thought of which I know as little as if she were the woman who brushes by me in the street. We are estranged, and I want to know why.

Oh yeah, they need to talk to each other. Communication problems.

She went out to America when she was young, and lived in the town of Atlanta, where she married this Hebron, who was a lawyer with a good practice. They had one child, but the yellow fever broke out badly in the place, and both husband and child died of it.

Well this is already tragic and we haven't even got to the mystery yet.

"I have seen his death certificate."

That's weirdly specific, while also being vague pronoun use - the husband or the child? - and also a totally normal thing to say. I guess it's the husband because... that would be necessary for the marriage? But why bring that up? Like, from a Doylist perspective it makes sense to provide that information to the reader, but it's such a weird sentence to just slip in. I'm sure this information won't be at all important later on.

“There’s one thing I ought to tell you before I go further. When we married, my wife made over all her property to me—rather against my will, for I saw how awkward it would be if my business affairs went wrong. However, she would have it so, and it was done. Well, about six weeks ago she came to me."

That is... definitely a choice she made. It doesn't seem like the best choice, especially since apparently it was all her idea. I suppose there must have been a reason for it, but Effie... not sure it was your best idea.

“’And you won’t tell me what you want it for?’ “’Some day, perhaps, but not just at present, Jack.’ “So I had to be content with that, though it was the first time that there had ever been any secret between us. I gave her a check, and I never thought any more of the matter.

OK, he's already one of the most respectful husbands we've seen in these stories just for this. He agreed to look after her money, but to give it to her with no questions asked if she needed it. She asked for a large sum of money, so asking 'what for?' is genuinely a reasonable question, but when gently reminded of his promise he agrees to give her the money with only a little more curiosity. I'm not going to quibble about him questioning her slightly. According to the Bank of England, she asked for the equivalent of £10,000. If your spouse asks for £10,000 randomly one day it's pretty natural to ask what it's for... or you're a billionnaire I guess.

Now, she's a bit sus right now. That's a lot of money on no notice. I guess she has some skeletons in her past she has to pay off in some way.

But also, if you 'never thought any more of the matter' then why were you thinking of it enough to bring it up now? Clearly you definitely thought more on the matter... It strikes me that I may have praised you too soon. You don't seem to be being entirely truthful.

"I could not tell if the face were that of a man or a woman. It had been too far from me for that. But its color was what had impressed me most. It was of a livid chalky white, and with something set and rigid about it which was shockingly unnatural."

Mask? We're all agreed it's a mask, right? livid white, set and rigid? That describes a mask. Or a robot. But if it's a robot, then this is not the story I was expecting and I've really forgotten a lot about these stories since I last read them.

It's not a robot, right?

In the alternate universe where the 5 orange pips killer is the restless ghosts of the murdered, this is a robot.

She was deadly pale and breathing fast, glancing furtively towards the bed as she fastened her mantle, to see if she had disturbed me. Then, thinking that I was still asleep, she slipped noiselessly from the room, and an instant later I heard a sharp creaking which could only come from the hinges of the front door. I sat up in bed and rapped my knuckles against the rail to make certain that I was truly awake. Then I took my watch from under the pillow. It was three in the morning. What on this earth could my wife be doing out on the country road at three in the morning?

Night running? Probably not. Stargazing? Moonbathing? Ancient rites and rituals? Dancing skyclad?

Probably not any of those things. I agree, it is a strange time to go a-wandering. And she is being super sneaky about it. This is another tick against the 'sus' box. Although I do suspect this is going to be something like her being blackmailed by her former husband who didn't actually die at all or something like that. Not that she doesn't have the right to go walking the country lanes at 3am. She can do whatever she wants. Bit weird though.

Was it usual to keep pocket watches under pillows? I used to keep books under my pillow when I was younger - and stuffed down the side of my bed. And hidden in my duvet cover. But that was because I stayed up too late reading and had to hide them quickly when I needed to pretend to be asleep. Did bedside tables not exist in the 1890s? Internet tells me they became popular in the Georgian period. Why not keep your watch beside your bed then. This is entirely unimportant, I'm just surprised that anyone would keep something like a pocket watch under their pillow. He must have a really good pillow.

"I had sat for about twenty minutes"

That's not very long. So it's either not an affair or her affair partner has some stamina issues. I jest, I jest. That wouldn't really be a Sherlock Holmes kind of mystery.

"Where had she been during that strange expedition? I felt that I should have no peace until I knew, and yet I shrank from asking her again after once she had told me what was false. All the rest of the night I tossed and tumbled, framing theory after theory, each more unlikely than the last."

Well, it's less than 10 minutes walk away, so that narrows down your answers somewhat. Probably the neighbour's house, given your narrative so far, Mr Munro.

“’Ah, Jack,’ she said, ‘I have just been in to see if I can be of any assistance to our new neighbors. Why do you look at me like that, Jack? You are not angry with me?’ “’So,’ said I, ‘this is where you went during the night.’"

I mean, yes. But also that's a perfectly good reason for her to be coming out of the cottage. Visiting neighbours, particularly in more rural areas, particularly during this time period, would have been entirely normal. Unless women still had to be introduced by their husbands/fathers at this point, but I don't think that was the case by the end of the Victorian era like it was in Austen. I get that she's being sus, but this is the least suspicious thing she's done. You're right, but your logic is faulty.

“’How can you tell me what you know is false?’ I cried. ‘Your very voice changes as you speak. When have I ever had a secret from you? I shall enter that cottage, and I shall probe the matter to the bottom.’ “’No, no, Jack, for God’s sake!’ she gasped, in uncontrollable emotion. Then, as I approached the door, she seized my sleeve and pulled me back with convulsive strength.

This is also an entirely reasonable reaction to your husband deciding to invade the new neighbours' house while angry.

Maybe it's her kid?

"'If you come home with me, all will be well. If you force your way into that cottage, all is over between us.’ [...] ’I will trust you on one condition, and on one condition only,’ said I at last. ‘It is that this mystery comes to an end from now. You are at liberty to preserve your secret, but you must promise me that there shall be no more nightly visits, no more doings which are kept from my knowledge. I am willing to forget those which are passed if you will promise that there shall be no more in the future.’

Oh dear, no one's coming out well from this. On the one hand, that's quite the ultimatum she's making. On the other hand... that's quite the ultimatum he's making.

So far nothing she's done has been particularly terrible. I mean... a twenty minute walk in the middle of the night isn't bad. Visiting the neighbours isn't bad. All he's got is suspicions that she's lying to him. Meanwhile, she's emotionally blackmailing him with their relationship. I know this is all going to turn out to be very dramatic, because it's a Holmes case, but at the same time, Mr Munro is definitely overreacting right here.

“On the third day, however, I had ample evidence that her solemn promise was not enough to hold her back from this secret influence which drew her away from her husband and her duty."

Oh no... you're being a dick, Mr Munro. The promise you made her give was completely unreasonable. There is literally no way she can tell you everything she plans to do and even if she could, that's a dick move. And now, based on one night time walk and visit next door you're claiming that her leaving the house is drawing her away from her duty? I believed in you, Mr Munro. She is being a bit weird, yes, but you're being controlling and for absolutely no good reason.

“My mind was instantly filled with suspicion. I rushed upstairs to make sure that she was not in the house."

These are not the actions of a rational human being. This is paranoia. If your wife thinks she needs to collude with the servants against you, then your marriage is nowhere near as happy as you seem to think.

"Tingling with anger, I rushed down and hurried across, determined to end the matter once and forever. I saw my wife and the maid hurrying back along the lane, but I did not stop to speak with them. In the cottage lay the secret which was casting a shadow over my life."

What fucking shadow? The only thing casting a shadow over your life right now is you. You have 0 evidence that your wife is doing anything wrong. And the more you talk, the more convinced I am that she could absolutely have needed to take a walk at 3am just to get away from you. I don't think that's going to be the solution to the mystery, but I wouldn't blame her at this point.

And you did so well with the money! Although I suppose we only have your word for any of that, so who knows what actually happened there.

If it turns out that her child didn't die of Yellow Fever at all, but was just left disfigured and/or disabled and now she's visiting them, it's not going to go well for you, my dude.

"I did not even knock when I reached it, but turned the handle and rushed into the passage."

Fucking rude.

That's how you get a poker to the head, btw.

"The furniture and pictures were of the most common and vulgar description, save in the one chamber at the window of which I had seen the strange face. That was comfortable and elegant, and all my suspicions rose into a fierce bitter flame when I saw that on the mantelpiece stood a copy of a full-length photograph of my wife, which had been taken at my request only three months ago."

Mr Monro is kind of a snob, huh? If I liked him more, I might suggest that he and Watson get together for judging sessions.

FINE the picture is weird and evidence of some sort of weird secret. Congratulations, by trespassing and being a controlling dick you have uncovered one (1) piece of evidence that your wife is embroiled in some sort of secret relationship. But I really do think it's going to be maternal.

"It is the first shadow that has come between us, and it has so shaken me that I do not know what I should do for the best."

Well you sure have handled it well so far. /sarcasm.

If this is the first problem in your marriage and your first instinct was to fly completely off the handle and barge into someone else's house and search it from top to bottom just because your wife *checks notes*... went for a short walk in the nighttime and... visited the neighbours? then you are not stable enough for marriage. Oh and she wanted some money a little while before this, but you specifically said that you'd all but forgotten about it (which I doubt since it was the first thing you brought up) and you didn't know if it had any bearing on anything else.

Again, I have only vague recollections of this one. The only thing I really remember is the face in the window, everything else is a blur.

Current theory: her child didn't die, but survived the yellow fever with serious lasting effects. She couldn't support them alone, so she set them up with someone to look after them and when she was properly settled down with a comfortable a life, a (supposedly) loving husband and enough money, she used that £10,000 to bring the child to her and settle them in the cottage across the way so they would be close to each other.

Why all of that would need to be such a secret, I don't know, however. There must be some scandal involved somehow. If we didn't already know she'd been married before, I would have said the child was born out of wedlock, but even if that were the case surely she could just say it was the child of her first husband anyway and in this time with no internet, no one would have been any the wiser?
