But the knife was different.
Because they knew she had the money the worst men were attracted to her and she chose the worst of the worst!" He stopped speaking to get his breath. "She married a plausible villain who ruined her spent every sou and left her with a mountain of debt and a month-old baby. Poor Grace died and he married again. I tried to get the baby, but he held it as a hostage.
If she left him to his own initiative he would probably go and camp with Wiggleswick amid the ruins of his house in Shepherd's Bush, where he would fall ill again and die. She would be responsible.
