Ken Follett Quote

Mam kissed Ethel and said: I'm glad to see you settled at last, anyway, That word ANYWAY carried a lot of baggage, Ethel thought. It meant: Congratulations, even though you're a fallen woman, and you've got an illegitmate child whose father no one knows, and you're marrying a Jew, and living in London, which is the same as Sodom and Gomorrah. But Ethel accepted Mam's qualified blessing and vowed never to say such things to her own child.
