Rarely have I been so delighted at the outcome of a case as I was today. Grant Munro’s ready acceptance of the little girl as his new daughter would have been compelling even had she been of his own race, but the way he naturally picked up the child is an example to us all. Holmes failed, but love succeeded.

But Lucy is of his 'race' too - her mother's genes have made her as well as her father's. It's so strange to think that what is a tiny difference in biology may make a huge difference to Lucy's place in society.
