Prisoners Wives (TV Series)

Episode #2.2 (2013)

Pippa Haywood: Harriet

Quotes 

• Harriet : He was always so organized, Clive. Structured. Safety-conscious, which is ironic, really, when you consider how he died.

  Ian : How did he? If you don't mind me.

  Harriet : South West Coastal Path.

  Ian : Sorry?

  Harriet : We were on a walking holiday in Dorset. We, we'd just finished the section near Durdle Door when the weather turned. I wanted to go back, but Clive insisted we go on, and all of a sudden a gust got under his cagoule, and poof, he was gone. Just like that.

  [looks at Ian, who has gone very quiet] 

  Harriet : Yes, that's the face that most people do.

  Ian : Harriet, I, I, I don't know what to say. That, that is the most...

  Harriet : Ridiculous way to die, I know. For years I never knew which was worse, the overwhelming grief or the awful embarrassment.
