Wives and Daughters1999

Mr. Gibson:
Is this true Cynthia?

Cynthia Kirkpatrick:
Molly knows it all.

Mr. Gibson:
Yes, I know that and that she has had to endure gossip and slander for your sake. But more she refused to tell me.

Cynthia Kirkpatrick:
Oh, she told you that much did she?

Molly Gibson:
I couldn't help it.

Cynthia Kirkpatrick:
Why did you have to say anything at all?

Mr. Gibson:
Because her reputation was attacked for your misconduct and I demanded an explanation.
