“I broke, under your forbearance, your permanent well-mannered forgiveness for my doing the dirty on you when I married you not knowing – still don’t know – whether my child was yours of Gerald Drake’s. You forgave without mercy. To scream blue murder and throw me out would have been a kindness compared to five years under you roof, banished from your comfort. Look what you brought me to. Throwing myself at you in my whore’s trousseau.”
