...imagines that she is merely sheltering an indiscreet society girl (which is what the "mother" pretends to be) from exposure. By naming the minister as her co-sinner, Letty creates much crude hilarity, since the arch-crook is usually playing his part within a part, appearing to be a stern, puritanical partner...
