Excerpt from Bitter Sweets, Vol. 2 of 3: A Love Story
In good truth, from the day that Paul Massey married Anna Lee, he had given himself up to a life of devotion to her and all that was good. And yet Winford Barns was a frequent visitor at Denby Rise, and would startle the servants with oaths, and coarse jests. Mrs Massey had once, in her affectionately frank manner, asked her husband why he did not give up the acquaintance Of a man who seemed so wicked and SO vulgar. This question was the only one that had ever elicited from her husband anything like a command.
You must not ask that question again, Anna dear, said Paul very seriously; I am under great Obligations to him, and he must come here when he pleases.
