"What a pity, I should have preferred to have the details from you directly rather than secondhand from Bellona." There obviously was no beau but she'd known that to start with, Camilla could have at least done her the courtesy of seeming a little uncomfortable. "As to my husband and I...

There could be no harm in letting Miss Zabini get carried away with her own imagination, she'd only look foolish when nothing came of it.
