Miss Primrose once presided over the education of Lud's most respectable women, drilling them in decorum while privately nursing a mystical devotion to 'true womanliness' and the great privilege of having been born a woooman. Now she sits bolt upright among faded tapestries, glittering with contempt at former pupils who dare question her, and shrieking that she will wear her shame like a flower given by him. Her stubborn, exalted defiance — and the sly, scared flicker in her eyes when certain names are mentioned — makes her the unsettling hinge on which the town's first real scandal turns.
