The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side (2010)

Charlotte Riley: Margot Bence

Quotes 

• Margot Bence : Well, we lived in the East End of London, my mother and eight of us kids, and she simply couldn't cope. So she did what a lot of women did in her position and she wrote to the rich and famous, begged them to adopt, and one day she got lucky.

  Miss Marple : Didn't Miss Gregg also adopt a boy?

  Margot Bence : Yes. And for a time we lived the most wonderful life. Marina played her part to the hilt.

  Dolly Bantry : But she did want children, didn't she?

  Margot Bence : Oh, yes. She just didn't want us. As soon as she discovered she was pregnant, that was it. All she wanted was a child of her own.

  Dolly Bantry : Well, you can't blame her for that.

  Margot Bence : No. But I can blame her for taking me. And my mother for letting her.
