"Oh, I do remember that," Juliana said, recalling the conversation she had with Mr. Lytton on the subject. It was probably one of the strangest conversations of her entire career at Lytton's, and therefore one of the most memorable. That was old news, though, so again not of much help to her in her current situation (though now that she had been reminded of it she did wonder vaguely whether the girl had carried the pregnancy to term or whether she'd taken Juliana's advice and thrown herself down the stairs — she hadn't ever actually heard the outcome of the story).

"Well, I'll keep my ears open for something," she said with a shrug. "If only to make myself feel better."

Or for a more insidious purpose. Camilla didn't need to know about any of that.
