I thought these parts were... Written by Moni (4/4/2008 10:07 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, Ch.5 Material matrimonial point..., penned by Rachel G

a bit hard to grasp at first, and I had to read them over again, then I realised Mrs Weston didn't react in any way offended. So I realised this was just Mr K's wit. I sort of took it by her reaction, and since there was none, it seems just clever and witty, and they were very familiar, so I think it was harmless.
