Zelda regretted saying it almost immediately, because she was not sure they were ever going to claw their way out of embarrassment long enough to actually have a conversation. Really, the more she thought about it the more surprised she was that they actually had managed to get naked together, because they really were not very good at interacting normally.

She didn't know what to say, so she shrugged at him. "Sorry," Zelda said. There was a bit of relief that he didn't expect her to do that normally, now, although mostly she felt bad for making Mr. Darrow stammer. "I didn't mean to imply that you were - rakish." Now that she knew him a bit better the idea of Mr. Darrow having a string of lovers was rather foreign to her.

(Although there was the girl from the book.)
