Franklin Gimson notes in his diary that Lady Grayburn seems to have recovered her mental balance and can now see things more impartially.

Note:

Vandeleur Grayburn died on August 21, 1943. Lady Mary was not called to the prison next door to see him at any stage in his last illness. Gimson seems surprised that she reacted strinly to her husband's death.
