Extramarital liaisons weren't entirely unheard of among this set, but it was one of those things that everyone simply accepted and no one talked about. The fact that Tracey was so boldly and rudely doing so now earned her shocked looks from Mrs. Harris and the rest of the people who were looking on.
"I'm quite sure I don't know what you're talking about," Mrs. Harris said coldly.
Tracey was just opening her mouth to tell her exactly what she was talking about when Charlotte appeared beside her and took her by the elbow to steer her away from the impending showdown.
"I'm sorry to interrupt," the elder Davis sister said with a cool, unruffled smile. "But I simply must steal Tracey away for a moment." Only Theodore was privy to the look of gritted frustration as Charlotte saved her sister from another social embarrassment.
