It had never occurred to me that this could be taken literally. When they reminisce at OG functions: 'D'you remember Lois Sanger? D'you remember how she sat and gloomed that night after we lost that comic cricket match? D'you ever hear from her? Does anyone ever hear from her? Whatever did happen to her, do you suppose?', clearly no one there suspects that she's dead. And that is the kind of news that does always get back.
Isn't there a passage somewhere where Patrick speculates about whether Lois knows she's a heel or not? I think this is her big moment of self-realisation. Knowing that she can't 'ever-so-carefully' twist an ankle before every match for the rest of her life, and that there won't always be an excuse for failure.
