Summary

Sister Catherine is distraught when a newborn baby is snatched from the maternity home, and the Turners grow increasingly concerned for Christopher's well-being

Review

David Brown

The work at the maternity home is usually done behind closed doors, but when one of the babies is discovered to be missing from their bassinette, the disappearance quickly becomes public news. Expect Sister Catherine to find herself in the uncomfortable position of facing a phalanx of press, while the mother at the centre of the drama frets about being parted from her newborn. This theme of separation anxiety is threaded too into the latest developments as regards the Turners and Christopher.

But, by way of contrast, we also see Rosalind relishing the prospect of spending more time with Cyril now that his decree absolute has come through. Wasting no time, she makes plans for a weekend away.
