The Secret Woman (2014)
“Now and then I saw the Captain and he always made a point of stopping to talk to me. People were beginning to notice.

Mrs. Blakey and I had accepted Chantel’s advice and took it in turns to take charge of the boys, which gave us more freedom. We were all... feeling as though we knew each other very well indeed.

The four of them were often together.MoreLess
