Improper! Well, of course, we shall not blame poor Betty, she is still very young, but we do blame that wicked Doctor Hunter. Why, he is a married man, my dear... and oldish. He should have known better. (MRS. WARREN: But Betty only walked with him.) Only walked with him? I was told that he sends flowers to Betty... and flowers have secret meanings. To say the least, they are sentimental. And Mrs. Lawty told Mrs. Romney that she heard Betty say with her own lips that Doctor Hunter was a conversationalist. I believe that means a person with very free ideas about personal matters... love, and that sort of thing. (MRS. WARREN: No, indeed... it simply means that he is a very interesting talker.) That's just it, Mrs. Warren. What does he find so much to talk about? I have never met him, but from things I have heard I believe he must be a dreadful person. Most unwholesome, so to speak, to the society--the very refined society of Northampton, where for the last forty years we have all lived in such perfect peace and understanding.
