[MaC] Interviewing Fitzroy

[Mel Mason]

>> "We've discovered that Nola had an abortion," said Lucinda quietly.
>> "Mrs Rosen spotted it - Lady Pamela and Miss Higgins were both rather 
>> upset.  Mr Fitzroy ... he guessed what we had found out, I think, and 
>> dashed out."
>
> Pamela's cheeks acquired a faint reddish tinge, but she said nothing. She 
> took back her kit-bag from Warren Worthington and occupied herself putting 
> it in order.
>
>> Marty glowered up at her. "I don't dash," he said flatly.  "I remembered 
>> an urgent appointment - that's all!"
>>
>> "With someone you procured an abortion from?" asked Lucinda.  "For Miss 
>> Diamond?"
>>
>> Marty glared back at her.  "I didn't do that," he said.  "Not that I'd 
>> have let the silly little tart ruin her career.  She'd had offers ... she 
>> could have been someone ... "
>>
>> "She was someone," said Oswald quietly, "but she's not any more."
>
> "Did you get her the morphine, Mr. Fitzroy?" Pamela asked, not looking up 
> from the open bag in her lap. "From where?" Military materiel did go 
> missing in wartime. Pamela didn't grudge poor Nola Diamond some relief 
> from her pain -- but if there was a leak, she had a duty to report it.

"No I didn't!" said Marty.  "Filthy stuff - I don't jhold with it.  Women 
should keep themselves pure for their menfolk, not mess up their insides 
with a load of junk.  That's the trouble with women today ... messing 
themselves up, thinking they can act like men, instead of concentrating on 
being womanly women."

"Like they do in Germany?" asked Oswald drily.  "Kinder, Kuche und Kirche 
and all that, eh?"

Florence returned with another tray of tea at this point.  She did seem able 
to lay her hands on an inexhaustibvle supply of tea ... and sugar.
