True, but she had eyes and since she was severely hearing impaired, she had learned lip-reading very early on (her mother refused to acknowledge the fact that she would have to learn sign language). Now many adults at that time simply ignored children altogether, but a deaf child? Conversation and gossip among the grown-up ladies would have gone unchecked in her presence...And, I do wonder what the gossip was, with May Teck marrying the brother of her late financé...for the Crown?
