“I won’t leave,” he said, grabbing his lover by the arm before any more of his clothes could be thrown into the open suitcase. “You can’t just throw me out.”

“We should tell them.”

“Ivy, we cannot.”

“I will not have John escape the noose only to send you to it.”

“It won’t go that far, they can’t prove anything.”

“They will say we are having an affair.”

“My dearest friend, I will not have them impugning your honour in that way. I will go straight to the detective and tell him you would never have an affair with me, not when I was having an affair with your husband.”

“Cecil!”

“Don’t fret, Ivy. I’ve seen the way that detective looks at that Doctor. They will never give us away.”
