[MaC] Interviewing Esme

[Mel Mason]

> "Mrs. Fitzroy," she asked, "you seemed anxious long before the tragedy 
> occurred. What has been upsetting you so?"
>
> "Nothing," said Esme nervously, twisting her handkerchief even more.  "I'm 
> just worried about my sister, that's all, with all this dreadful bombing. 
> She ... she lives in the East End.  In Bethnal Green."
>
> "That," Vangie declared, her alto voice a quelling knell of certainty, "is 
> not all you're worried about. Isn't it time you told the truth? You've 
> told at least two lies tonight...and those are only the ones I know of."
>
> Esme looked at her apprehensively.
>
> "What do you mean?" she asked.
>
> "What you're really upset about is that letter."

Esme looked around.  Now that Cyril and Arabella had left, Esme and Vangie 
were alone together.

"Yes," she said at last.  "She is in Bethnal Green, you know.  But ... our 
lives have been very different.  I married Marty and we became rich ... and 
she ... she helps girls in the East End.  And Marty found out!"

She dissolved into tears.
