Violet nodded. "True. Malcolm kept a mistress, and who knows what to make of the whole thing with Gerald. At least Marjorie is a bit more normal-poor thing."

Carissa folded her hands, resting her chin on her knuckles, her gaze distant. "Yeah. Vivi, do you know what it felt like hearing those words from Lydia?"
