“No mention of a husband.”
You have to brush up on your Britishisms. It mentions her “partner” was back at the hotel looking after the kid. “Partner” in the British Language has a lot of meanings: husband, wife, co-habitor, shack-upper, two gays, two lesbos...it means somebody or maybe something is else back at the ranch.
The use of “partner” has been steadily growing in England the past decades. They were woke before woke was cool.
Tattooed, botoxed, slutty and stupid. Unfortunately she's pretty much your average british gal nowadays.
Not just in England. The Canadian comic strip “For Better or For Worse” (now in re-runs) had the widowed father of the central character, Elly, refer to his deceased wife as his “partner.”
