Grrr!Min in murderous vein ... Yup, as you say, Caroline. Exactly. [Bonus question: Molly has already had her name added to house deeds/share portfolio/policies + insisted on J taking out huge assurance policy. Then spread rumours about hanky panky (him) with workers (girls will be girls, etc). He then disappears, presumed dead after 7 years (only to return mutely, in a manner of speaking, when patio is dug up 50 years later). Molly meanwhile cashes in her chips & goes to divide her time between a beautiful estancia in Argentina + belle epoque flat in Buenos Aires, in high style + with the occasional polo-playing hunk.] PS Via your blog, re-discovered The F-Word site - so belated thanks for that.
