Strangely enough, she didn't begin screaming, just looked at him as she briskly wound her hair back up into a chignon that hid all that glowing color as if it didn't exist. "Well, I suppose I should thank you," she said briskly.

"This has taught me sympathy for the women of the play. I previously thought Mrs. Loveit and Belinda were rather foolish women, negligible in intelligence and prey to their passions."

"Who?" he asked. "I don't think Medley has a mistress. "

"This Loretta. Miss Hawes."

"No!" But she read his eyes; she knew it, and he saw it, and she didn't bother to acknowledge his protest. "As the manager of this production, I should perhaps insist that you play Dorimant. As far as I know, the Duke of Holbrook is as pure as the driven snow. And yet you…"

And without further ado, she tucked herself through the door.
