And if you haven't the sensitivity to understand that Sheila may have seen their "getting on better since the divorce" as reason to hope for reconciliation, I fear you know little of women.
As for the "red herring" of separating her from the twins, I rather imagine that if Sheila had been persuaded to take that "holiday", her parents, at 60 plus may have found it too much, caring full time for two boisterous boys.
Nobody needs to have been behind "embellished half truths" and "downright lies". Sheila's health was deteriorating. It matters little what Dr Ferguson noted about her back in March. By August it appears, for various reasons, she was a very different person. Didn't she say, in her letter to AE, that God had a mission for her to rid the world of evil? My apologies if she didn't.
No she did say it,but I think that was to Helen Grimster. I wonder if Jeremy was around when those words were spoken;he seems to have known everything else which was going on including his parents' financial affairs and the location of the key to the safe.
Sheila's letter to Ann had rather a diffident tone as if she were apologizing for being ill. It's typical behaviour of a Blood Type A as is the comment in her diary about being sorry for being horrible to Jeremy.
Incidentally I've had some stress this weekend so apologies for some of my posts in the past hour. I'm a Blood Type A..
