After Georgiana's health returned she confessed some of her debts to her husband who flew into a rage (I would be upset too if I found out my spouse had the modern equivalent of a $6 million gambling debt) and screamed for a separation. Georgiana was reasonably upset and turned to her best friend for support.
For whatever reason, though, Bess gave Georgiana no shoulder to cry on. In fact she refused to talk to her altogether!
I have no sympathy for Bess at all, she was never a true friend of Georgiana.
ReplyDeleteOh, don't you just love that ungrateful besom even more?
ReplyDeleteBess Foster was never a true friend to the Duchess of Devonshire.
ReplyDeleteWhy was Georgiana surprised by her behaviour? That's the question that constantly strikes my mind!
I mean that "friend" your Bff' became your husband's mistress by taking advantage of your good disposition to help her in times of despair and lives in the same roof as you do!
did I just said "lives in the same roof" :S that's what happens when writing in a rush haha, I meant under the same roof
ReplyDeletewhenever i think of "friends with benefits1" i always think of georgiana and bess' friendship. She is like a devil in disguise
