"I suppose it is," Lady Gwendolyn said, thinking of several other things she could say about Oscar besides the cruelty of his growing up motherless. "However, he has a nanny or a governess or something, I assume? There can be replacements for a bad mother. Even a kindly tutor could fill the role to perfection. And come now! You are too hard on yourself. Many a lady has been lead astray by the sound of an Italianate vowel landing on her upturned ear."

"A good tutor. A Cambridge boy, but a good one. Isaac adores his lessons now, and I can hardly say I am not glad for it. Bianca, I feel, is trying to form a romantic attachment to the poor man." He said with a small smile. Oscar could do with a female influence. He had a nurse, and there was the house-keeper, but it was simply not enough, not good enough, for his son. Whether or not Oscar was his son was not something he was ever going to consider.

"Ooh. Cambridge?" asked Lady Gwendolyn. "I would never have thought you would hire someone from Cambridge. Then again, Cambridge is Pitt's constituency, so perhaps your Tory sensibilities lead you past school rivalries. At any rate, at least your children are happy."

She was almost desperate to say something on the subject of Oscar, whom almost everyone held to be something of a cuckoo in the nest. "If that fails, you can always marry some pretty, simple-minded thing from the country and introduce her to your offspring. Oh, that would require a divorce first, which you may not like...." She trailed off, at something of an impasse.
