Affair

Barbara tells us " I lost my virginity at 18 to Viscount Elmley' who she claims to have wanted to marry "but I didn't find him attractive, which is just as well because, my dear, there was the most ghastly scandal. "Lord Beauchamp was caught b****ring the footmen and had to leave England in the dead of night to go into exile. I mean, you can't have people b****ring the servants, darling, now can you?"
