During the scene 4, when all of the ladies and a few of the men end up in Horner's house, does Old Lady Squeamish know what is truly going on? It seems she goes back and forth--and then like most of the men do, says "Poor Mr. Horner...". During this part, I wasn't sure if she was quite familiar with the unspoken code of the Ladies of London.
Also, is Horner wealthy? He seemed to have money and could afford oranges (which I assume were fairly expensive), but I didn't understand how he would come about this money. And, while he was a man of some prestige--what right would he have to claim the company of Pinchwife's "brother in-law"? Wouldn't Pinchwife have the right to the final say in that, or is he overruled because he is from the country?
Finally, how is the dictated letter that Mrs. Pinchwife wrote completely let go? By the end, everyone forgot about it--Poor Mr. Horner.
