Explore "A Woman's Debt" by William Le Queux on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
After a prolonged honeymoon, in which they visited Rome, Naples, Venice and other places of interest, the young couple returned to London, where they took a small suite of rooms at the Metropole. The bride was very happy: Darcy proved an ideal husband, a man of equable temper and sunny disposition, and the luxury with which she had been surrounded since her marriage was a delightful contrast to the drab life at Brinkstone and Fulham, and the comfortable but rather unrefined atmosphere of her friend's flat.
With regard to Miss Buckley, Darcy had hinted very delicately that while she would always be a welcome guest wherever they were, he would prefer that his wife should see as little as possible of her music-hall acquaintances, which was no longer quite the right sort of society for a woman in her position. In other words, her friend could come to her as often as she liked, but she was not to go to Alma.
