The Cutting Gazette

A little sound makes the scandal better. Try the music box or the bell.

“I should imagine with you it comes naturally.”

What it sounds like

Scandal seems to come naturally to you.

What it really means

“He turns Daphne’s accusation back on her, suggesting her encounter with Lord Berbrooke makes her just as prone to scandal.”

Said today

“You’re hardly one to talk—you seem perfectly capable of causing a scandal yourself.”

What was happening

Daphne says Simon must naturally attract scandal after he insists he has no interest in causing any. He reminds her that being alone with Berbrooke—and punching him—could threaten her reputation too.
