Excerpt from The Lady Herbert's Gentlewomen, Vol. 3 of 3 Nonsense, Nanny, that is an improbable guess, and you mustn't think such a thing, or speak of such a thing. If Mr. Quatford, with his goodness to me in so many ways, should choose to do it, it is within the bounds of probability, for he does much with his right hand of which his left knows nothing. But that a shy, dreamy man like Mr. Islip should even notice my words, is a thought that would occur to no one.
