"Ah what indeed dear? That is the point. He goes to see her continually and stops for hours at a time and while he is there she is not at home to any one. Not that many ladies call on her dear but she has a great many disreputable men friends my own brother particularly as I told you and that is what makes it so dreadful about Windermere. We looked upon him as being such a model husband but I am afraid there is no doubt about it.

My dear nieces you know the Saville girls don't you? such nice domestic creatures plain dreadfully plain but so good well they're always at the window doing fancy work and making ugly things for the poor which I think so useful of them in these dreadful socialistic days and this terrible woman has taken a house in Curzon Street right opposite them such a respectable street too! I don't know what were coming to! And they tell me that Windermere goes there four and five times a week they see him. They can't help it and although they never talk scandal they well of course they remark on it to every one."
