Has anyone read "The Woman in White"? I have a question...

When Walter and Laura get married, how do they do it?

She can't presumably prove that she is Laura, and also can't prove (and wouldn't want to) that she is Anne.

So how do they marry without her identity being fixed?

Can't find my copy to check up, but surely the authorities would take the combined word of Laura plus Walter and Marion; presumably they would also have had a family lawyer as she was an heiress, and he would recognise her too.

I suspect nice middle-class people in them days didn't have to do too much explaining to the police...

no, it was at the stage when only Walter & Marian knew or accepted who she was. And they weren't officially well off and middle class at that point, they were struggling to manage on Walter's occasional drawing jobs - plus him gallivanting around the countryside trying to find proof of Percival's deception must have cost a bob or two...

The proof came later, when the lawyer was involved and everything.

Just wondered, you know, like you do...
