: Faust: I will agree that she could be British and that she sold the German's out for personal gain and they found out about it. But, I think it highly likely that she is Austrian, as does Silver, or German, and that she was sent to British schools to get rid of her. Remember her mother's opinion of her. She may not have been abandoned in England so much as cut off from mainland Europe by world ( political and military ) events . There's no doubt in my mind that she was a spy for the British and that her motives were far from patriotic.: Faust: She is not self - centered because she was spoiled. She is that way because she had to survive her parent's, at least her mother's abuse. She will act in her own interests at all costs because that is all she knows how to do. If she became a spy it was because the British insisted or her fortune depended on it. : Steve Faust While it does make sense that Marguerite's survival instincts could come from an emotionally abusive childhood, I don't think the back story supports that theory. Marguerite is an orphan, and one orphaned so young that she can't even recall what her parents looked like. In "Cave of Fear", her first reaction to her mother was "Who are you?" She didn't recognize her.
Mrs. Krux's behavior in the vision was Marguerite's interpretation. I'd reckon the feelings of abandonment and being the cause of your parents leaving are pretty normal in that situation. Janet
