Evidence: | 'At age thirteen or fourteen John Edmonds, who was reading "The Cloister and the Hearth" with a lower-midddle-class girlfriend, asked her how Margaret had become pregnant. (He assumed pregnancy followed automatically from marriage and cohabitation). She laughed, told him he was silly, and offered a "surprisingly accurate" explanation'. |
