"Wonder if it was over Mr. Whitman instead of the Doctor..."
I seem to have found one of the town gossips, I think to myself, amused. "I don't believe Miss Lei has much to do with Mr Whitman," I say, which is as far as I'll be drawn on that subject, but she can make of it what she will. I'm certainly not denying it outright.
I sip my tea; it's very pleasant indeed. "How sad, though, that Mrs Whitman is less happy. I've seen her here, of course, but we've not really spoken.... Do you think she is unhappy in her marriage?" Marry in haste, repent at leisure: an old theme. "Of course, she is a new mother - perhaps she's simply tired." And from what I've heard, there's no chance that child can be her husband's, either.
