If he always knew she was the mother and he knew when Ray was born then he had to wonder if he himself was the father. He did say to Ray that he probably always knew it but still, I’m just surprised he never thought about finding out sooner. A little naive on Jock’s part in my opinion. I guess I just look at it from the point of view that if she was dying then all the more reason to tell her son the truth. Not necessarily a secret I’d take to the grave but perhaps she figured he and Jock would eventually figure it out on their own.  Of course, back then these things were much more complicated. But she could’ve at least told her son the truth and asked him to keep it between them until she was gone. After that the scandal for her obviously doesn’t matter anymore.</blockquote>
