How we cite our quotes: (Chapter. Paragraph)
Quote #4
"Do you suppose that he guesses the situation--how anxious we are to hush the scandal up?" (5.105)
Mrs. Herriton asks Philip if he thinks Gino will suspect how much the Herritons want to keep their name free from scandal. They don't want Gino to realize this because he might ask for more money. But Mrs. Herriton would be willing to pay as much as it would take to keep the family reputation intact.
Quote #5
"The child is no relation of ours," said Philip. "It is therefore scarcely for us to interfere." (5.127)
Philip argues that since Lilia's baby isn't a direct member of the family, they don't need to concern themselves with his fate. But Mrs. Herriton is always attuned to any whiff of danger when it comes to the family reputation. If there's any possibility that people would accuse the Herritons of shirking their duty toward the baby, that's something Mrs. Herriton simply won't stand for. Where are those smelling salts?
Quote #6
"It doesn't matter for you. You can laugh. But I know what people say; and that woman goes to Italy this evening." (5.193)
Mrs. Herriton is so angry in this scene that we're worried she's going to burst a blood vessel. She has just come back from visiting Miss Abbott, who is so determined to "help out" that she's traveling to Italy to bring the baby back to Sawston. Mrs. Herriton won't allow Caroline to make the family look bad, so now she's forcing Philip to take the next train to Monteriano.
