There is about to be a Big War which would surely facilitate this process!
HOWEVER. If Julian DOES make a success of theater, it will be almost impossible to keep his mother from knowing that he is, at least, alive, as his photo may end up splashed all over the pages of magazines etc. I think their best hope is that she will be SO OFFENDED by his insistence on pursuing a theatrical career that she maintains an icy silence toward them.
...However if there do end up being grandchildren, they should do their dardnest to ensure she doesn't find out about it, because Mrs. Fleming strikes me as someone who would feel it was her DUTY to be around that grandchild as much as possible in order to set a "good example."
