They're getting a lesson they'll not forget in a hurry.
Women are all going mad nowadays; though I had no notion Isabel went in for well, the kind of thing your sister talks, Lentaigne. I thought she was religious. She used to be perpetually going to church, evensong on the Vigil of St. Euphrosyne, and that kind of thing, but I am told lots of parsons now have taken up these advanced ideas about women.
