The new assistant master at Bowick has a secret, and when he lays it before his employer it comes out flat and whole: the gentle woman who has been mothering the school's smallest boys is not his wife and cannot be, because the first husband she had every reason to think dead was found alive in America. Peacocke knew, adn stayed with her anyway.
Mr. and Mrs. Peacocke were not man and wife.
