'She's ruined my good name with her malicious gossip. Tells everybody about my affairs with Leonard, as if it was any of her business. She's jealous, the narrow-minded old frump. She's sour with envy because I'm courted by a handsome man while she's nothing but a doddery old derelict, poor soul. And she thinks the handbasin is hers! And the wastepaper basket. I have to guard every inch of my territory or she'd push me right over against the wall.'
