And what did you say?

I said, no, no, I can't take that.

You'll have to go and give it to Martin.

They went there and Tim sobbed and said, she's gone sky-high.

She was contacted by some London solicitors who said that an unnamed client wanted to pay back all the legal fees and everything she owed Martin on the understanding that he would sign an agreement that he wouldn't disclose this.

I thought, why should she lie?

Why can't she just say she'd done this terrible thing, stolen the money, had to borrow it back, lost it because she hadn't lost her house.

Why doesn't she just be honest?

Lots of people do commit crimes and then go on to be really good people.

And that made me angry.

How did you feel?

Hurt and heartbroken, really.

You know, my husband, who was lovely, had been destroyed because it did shatter his confidence in people.
