  The new deputy head, Dr Adrian Crayford plainly regarded women as an interference to the life he had laid down for himself. He wouldn't have a woman in his flat even to clean it. When Rosalie asked him what harm they had ever done him that he couldn't tolerate them in his private life, he replied, ‘No harm at all, except that they're an incredible nuisance, and an irritating distraction from things that really matter. And the more attractive they are, the greater distraction they become. So I keep them out. Full stop. I'm woman-proof,' he added for good measure. But Rosalie was very attractive - and attracted to Dr. Crayford! - and perhaps things might have worked out for her, had it not been for that rather serious misunderstanding over her friendship with Wallis Mason
