Quotes by Rachel Sargeant (?)

“trembled with fury. Her recollection was that Sascha had been outside the garden with the naive newcomer when Louisa had come out of the house screeching. Louisa went on: “He knows when we’re at home, when we go out, what cars we drive, where our children play. None of us is safe.” Mel’s cup slipped, and she spilt”
