"You may be too modest to be there, but it can be put through without you, and you will be cleared, don't you see?",Meantime, Violet is having rather a bad time in the boudoir. Lady Rodney refuses to see light anywhere, and talks on in a disjointed fashion about this disgrace that has befallen the family.,"I shall remember," says Mona, not knowing what the paper contains.
