No, actually, I think the awful truth is that Linda is Barbara's great-great-great-great-great grandaughter, in spite of the historic record that implies this is impossible.

There is some evidence to indicate that when slowly slowly she got up and more slowly still drew nigh him, the details of the encounter were not fully captured in records, and a coverup involving a curt rebuttal was entered as the official explanation instead.

Furthermore, there is no indication in the official account of the amount of time that passed between the bedroom scene and the day on which she presumably heard churchbells ringing in an accusatory tone (a classic symptom of stress induced delusory auditory tracks).

It is likely that the omitted intervals was at least a year, accounting for the consequences of the artificially disguised dalliance in the bedroom to manifest themselves, and ultimately bring us the great delight of Linda's talents here on the Mudcat!

Or something like that....
