The story continues...

'Oh, that's simple,' Lady Prescott replied. 'I fell love. Strange though it may seem, I left Birmingham to be Gerald Prescott - the gutless, brainless, spineless fool who is now governor of Newtown Prison. You look a bit surprised, Mr Carruthers. Then perhaps I should explain.
There was a time when my husband was a bright, tender young man. It's only recently that he's turned a workaholic who eats, drinks and sleeps prison life.
I met him when I was just eighteen. I was my last term school and Gerald was studying the local technical college. He was absolutely broke and so he'd taken a part-time job a take- restaurant called The Birmingham Big Burger Bar. The take- was Crawford Street. It was my way home school. One day, I went to get some chips. Gerald was serving the counter. He smiled me and I felt a cold shiver run my spine.
that I went the take- every day. I wasn't hungry. I just wanted to see Gerald. Anyway, one afternoon he asked me and we went a walk the park. We got really well and I started seeing him all the time. He used to walk me school the morning and he'd come and pick me when the classes were over. And then - all a sudden - I fell love him. I don't know why. It just happened that way.
When my father found what was going , he went crazy. He didn't want his only daughter going someone who cooked hamburgers a take-­. He told me that I had to stop seeing Gerald straightaway.
I had to make a choice. Should I obey my father and split the person I loved? Or should I defy my parents and go seeing him? It didn't take me long to make my mind! I knew that I couldn't give Gerald . And so I had to work some way deceiving my parents.
The plan was simple. I pretended that I'd obeyed my father. I said that I'd broken Gerald. I cried two or three days and went ten packets of tissues. I stopped eating and slammed lots doors. I put a really good show. My parents were completely taken .
But whenever my father's back was turned, I would slip the house and go and meet Gerald secretly, the park or the take-away. When I came home, I made some story or other to explain where I'd been. "I was a friend's house playing records" or "I was visiting a museum the centre of the town".
My father seemed happy that I'd suddenly made lots of new friends who had money their pockets and didn't cook burgers. But he didn't know what I was really ...'
Lady Prescott suddenly broke and - the next minute or so - they walked silence. Frederick looked straight . He said nothing. There was no need to talk. They crossed a main road and walked a school. And then, as they turned a narrow side street, Lady Prescott picked the story again...
