Wondered if I had missed something! Written by CarolTS (10/3/2009 3:59 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Eliza's mother, penned by Barbara

I was trying to remember if I had ignored or not understood any reference to prostitution! I guess having a string of lovers might be considered a type of prostitution. The money that was supposed to come to her was eventually signed over to another. Of course - that would mean she's paying for this instead of getting paid!
