"Why not?"
"Because of the beastly way they've behaved to Anne Severn."
"What have they done?"
"Done? They've been perfect swine. They've cut her for five years because she looked after Colin. They've said the filthiest things about her."
"What sort of things?"
"Why, that Colin was her lover."
"Oh Jerrold, how abominable. Just because she was a saint."
"Anne wouldn't care what anybody said about her. My mother left her all by herself here to take care of him and she wouldn't leave him. She thought of nothing but him."
"She must be a perfect angel."
"She is."
