Isabel Lunt was a close friend of Franziska and of Marion Lejeune. They were all classmates at Withington Girls’ School. Coincidentally twins Paula and Adeline Enke were also at WGS. Thus began the intertwining of the Lejeune and Enke families, first by Isabel marrying Peter Enke, older brother of the twin Enke girls, and second by Marion marrying Max Enke, a younger brother of Peter. Since Alice was an important figure in the Enke/Chambers family tale, she deserves a more fulsome appearance in the Marion Project.
