I'm sorry about Page, but you see that's just the reason why you shouldn't place too much trust in boys. I can't think who Bell is even. A nothing, I'm sure.

I wouldn't recommend taking Mrs Lindorm (she hasn't married again, has she?) as a model. If you can't think why, I'd rather not explain. But you're quite right: if you are going to take a lover, you ought to be considerably more cautious than Mrs Rowle seems to have been.

I still can't imagine it's true. Hewett's lucky to be alive today: Rowle is not a man I'd wish to cross.
