The Scarlet Godwins - Ten

Marley continues with her version of how it came about that the twins should introduce her to Charlotte's family dressed the same, in scarlet frocks. She develops the theme of Charlotte's stalker, the tall man with a broken arm. In an aside, she formally requests that Otto release her from her vow never to use rude words. It is plain for his part, that Otto is addressing someone important, albeit in his own head. Taking a more birds-eye view of Charlotte's life, as he strolls along the beach, he goes over the account that Louise Gross gave him, about how she first found out about Marley.
