Released at that age by entirely fortuitous circumstances over which she had no control she enjoyed a period of blissful living in France The coming of the War brought an end to that
The actions of the German Forces of Occupation against her drove her into her activities with the French Resistance
It was inevitable she would be betrayed She was forced to flee to the only place where she could be sure enemy agents could not reach herher fathers house in the Scottish Highlands where the security for the old naval base was still effective but where she had no protection from her fathers wiles and hostile intentions
