Yes, isn't it too bad? Mrs. Lawty tells me he is a conversationalist, or something dreadful of that sort. But of course he was educated in London... and, my dear, London's standard of morals is not the same as Northampton's. I was also told that he treats his wife very badly in public, my dear, in public. (MRS. WARREN: You mean----) My dear Mrs. Warren, I am very sorry to tell you... but I feel that it is my duty, as wife of your pastor... to tell you that your daughter Betty has been seen very often,--that is, at least once--walking with this Doctor Hunter. Also, my dear Mrs. Warren, she accepts presents from him... flowers and that sort of thing. (MRS. WARREN: Why, Betty hardly knows him!) That is just it. She hardly knows him... nor do any of us. Also remember he is a married man, my dear Mrs. Warren, and very good looking... and I really believe all good-looking people are bad, thoroughly bad.
