Not sure... Written by BarbaraB (3/26/2009 4:02 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Ah, but neutrality wouldn't be honesty either IMHO nfm, penned by Ellen M

how being nuetral is dishonest. I merely meant that if Henry had simply refrained from either blaming or excusing either his brother or Isabella, he would at least have ended up being fair: it was a matter of not saying anything other than, "I have informed Frederick about Miss Thorpe's status," and abstaining from giving any opinions on who was right or wrong. I don't see how keeping his opinions to himself is dishonest. :)
