"I didn't, I didn't mean it," Daisy Wright blurted out in panic, "I was drunk that night, I didn't know anything..."
"Drunk?" Miss Caroline seemed to have found a flaw and yelled, "Daisy Wright, how dare you seduce my fiancé with alcohol? Where are your manners? Where is your sense of shame? I'm going to tell Aunt Lala about this!"
"No," Daisy exclaimed in terror, "Sister Vivian, please don't."
Having been brought up with strict discipline, Daisy knew that being drunk was a grave sin in her mother's eyes. If her mother found out that she had spent the night in the same room with another man, the punishment would have been unimaginable.
Moreover, this man was Caroline Wright's "fiancé."
"Vivian, things are not like that," Victoria hastily tried to mediate, "Daisy wouldn't do such a thing. Matilda Murphy merely took her back to her room, he probably didn't stay the night there."
