The two women are Mrs Harris(Robert Norman's housekeeper), and Claire Hanes. They have two fairly long conversations. In the first, they very briefly discuss Robert's wife, but the real subject of the conversation seems to be the son of Robert and his wife, so I don't think this passes the test. The later conversation is entirely about the son.

The conversation starts at 19:42 on youtube.
