"But it must have come to your mind again when you read accounts of the Franchise affair?"
"No, it didn't."
"Why was that?"
"For one thing, I never knew the girl's name. Barney called her Liz. And I just didn't connect a fifteen-year-old schoolgirl who was kidnapped and beaten somewhere in the Midlands with Barney's bit. I mean, with the girl who was eating chocolates on my bed."
"If you had realised that the girls were identical, you would have told the police what you knew about her?"
"Certainly."
"You would not have hesitated owing to the fact that it was you who had administered the beating?"
"No. I would administer another tomorrow if I got the chance."
"I will save my learned friend a question and ask you: Do you intend to divorce your husband?"
"No. Certainly not."
