"What could be winked at among the aristocracy was intolerable in a servant." - and that's the gd crux of the matter. for all that stephen can afford to prance around with his lovers and be 'out', for jamie or anyone like him, even a whiff of scandal is kryptonite. no wonder julian clings to the arrangement he has with stephen. without that kind of association, he'd be penniless - or in jail

“Rebecca!” The earl’s head snapped up, eyes blazing. “If it weren’t for that bitch, I wouldn’t be in this situation.” Charles gaped, stupefied. “Stephen? What in blazes are you talking about?” “She and Jamie. Betsy saw them kissing. That’s why I had to seduce him last night.” - the justification! i mean... what?? he's a person, you imbecile, not a lamppost you pee on!

"He knew he sounded churlish, but really, it was all her fault. If the lovely young cook hadn’t been pursuing Jamie herself, he wouldn’t have been forced to move so quickly to secure the lad. And the blasted mix-up over the books would never have happened." - you are a bad, skeevy person and you should feel bad.
