Interlude 11-Chapter 33 Summary

In Interlude 11, the typist describes struggling to maintain her secret as overt signs of her pregnancy emerged. Her mother survived the laudanum overdose, which was declared accidental, but the typist believes Evangeline intended to die. Archie’s knowledge of how to procure an abortion came from Winston’s mistress. Determined to find out the mistress’s identity, the typist trailed her father to an assignation. She was shocked to learn that Winston was having an affair with Miss Baker. Miss Baker cautioned the typist not to judge her, and agreed to help, pointing out the typist’s naiveté for trusting the baby’s father, no matter what he promised.

In the present, Mrs. Baker snatches the typewriter and throws it off the cliff. Certain she is about to be fired, Kit starts packing, and discovers that her pages of Miss Hope’s memoir are gone. She confronts Mrs. Baker, who gestures to the fireplace where the pages are burning. Mrs. Baker claims credit for the fact that Hope’s End is still standing, confirming that when Miss Hope dies, Mrs. Baker will inherit the estate.

Kit sneaks into Mrs. Baker’s room. She finds a photo of Mrs. Baker with a handsome man near the Eiffel Tower, and other images that speak to an exciting life of European travel.
