"Not while my life lasts, Jane. Trust me, I shall never forget it."
"Let us stop talking of it. At any rate we can do that. Tell me about your lovers, Matilda. How many have you at this present?"
"The war has taken them all but young Godschall, and he and I are no longer friends. When he was at de Wick last, we said so much we have not spoken a word since."
"I am sorry for it."
"'Tis a common occurrence, many women endure it."
"And what has come to George St. Amand? He was once very much your servant."
"Poor George!"
"Why do you say 'poor George'?"
"Because we are told that all titles are to be cancelled and abolished, and George St. Amand is dumb unless he can salt every sentence he utters with what 'my Lord, my father' thinks or says."
"And there was also among your servants, one Philip Heneage."
