Seemed free - freer than it had been in years. Or perhaps it was his heart that had been freed. In any case his thoughts seemed very clear as he lowered the bowling bag to the folded dry-cleaning.

Of course he'd lost his position in Government; outraged society had bounded him from office and Sybil wondered why Houston had dared to mention such an ugly scandal. It was as if he expected his London audience to morally approve of a divorced man. Still she noticed the ladies seemed intrigued and not entirely.
