She's also very concerned for Alice and wants to protect her from finding
out what her Dad's been up to. And then there's Kate, Nolly and co, who
don't know (do they?).
Yes, but that all seems to be rather secondary to the "what will the
neighbours think?" and "what about poor me?" attitudes...

Yes, probably. But I can't really blame her. She's already been humiliated once, and has no wish to have it happen again on a grand scale. If Rory came to live with them, they would always have to explain to people that he was Brian's child from an adulterous relationship - she'd have no hope of ever putting it behind her. It's a lot to ask of anyone, particularly a grandmother who's recently been contemplating a comfortable retirement.

Agreed
