page 400 now. I'm beginning to feel sorry for a few of the men: senator Gotobed for often putting his foot wrong; blundering through this class-conscious society with it's hundred thousand unwritten rules. Then John Morton and Larry Twentyman who both have heartaches about the women. And Lord Rufford who is pursecuted into marrying it seems; Arabella is the hunter and it looks as though she gets help from her divers relatives.
It may be that the women have to fend for themselves and that their position often is insecure. Yet, I get the impression that the women in this book do a good job of getting what they want, by whatever means.
