Sowerbutt's Question

"This special lady been keeping us company for long?"
The slight military man looked sheepish. "Frankly, no idea how the lady entered the country or when she arrived here. The borders are supposed to be locked up. Perhaps a Jerry U-boat somewhere off the Irish coast, though the ferry operators and the cargo-ship captains running across the Irish Sea have no recollection of seeing her and she's a good-looker whom you wouldn't forget.
"Can't see her parachuting in - too risky. Perhaps she slipped through in the chaos of Dunkirk, but there are no records of any civilian women entering the country. Of course, there wouldn't be. We are sure some of the French, particularly the officers, who were rescued brought with them wives or other people's wives who have now gone to ground." http://www.amazon.co.uk/Colour-Lemon-Surrender-1940-ebook/dp/B008USR7FA
