For half a lifetime "Jean" had said nothing of what had happened to her -
the terror and the torment and the agony of her so-called childhood was
locked up in her memory. Never forgotten. Just sitting there under the
surface. Filed away. On her mind but never spoken. For half a lifetime.
Who would believe her if she spoke? No one, she felt. No one would believe what had happened to her - and to the others. And, anyway, she had to get on with life. There was no point living in the past. It was the same for "Lizzie" - although she had talked about it to a stranger three days ago.
