Summary
In the aftermath of the Newport ball, there are still many things that George finds untenable about his wife. But the only thing relevant right now is that Bertha is halfway across the city, intending to see her indisposition through without him. That she is going into heat and she did not send for him.
That is untenable.

Summary
Bertha O’Brien made one desperate choice to save her sister.
One night with George Russell was supposed to mean paid hospital bills, a closed door, and a past she could bury before anyone learned of it. But choices made in desperation rarely stay hidden, and George Russell is not the sort of man life allows her to forget.

Summary
It's thoroughly unfortunate how Gladys' new governess is driving George to distraction. That is to say - it's his own fault really; he should really have been paying more attention when Bruce had brought him the references of the women who'd applied for the post. That way he might not find himself in this abominable, impossible situation.
Or: when Gladys' governess, Bertha, slips naked into George Russell's bed, the outcome is decidedly different.
