“Remember those photos from the party last time? It seems like not only is she indecent, but she also can’t act the part of Mrs. Norton properly either. What a disgrace to the family.”

“What on earth is Mr. Norton thinking? What exactly did he see in her? And all that talk about the V.M Fund… Unbelievable.”
