Pat,
That could also be true!! We just do not know what type of relationship they have had since CR and if Marcie was able to get any knowledge from other sources as to what Master Ben might have been doing in the clubs and her knowledge of the other women.
I do think that you are right in that the Knights themselves would not tell her or gossip about Ben in front of her. I think that she is going to have to find out from other people if indeed she does find out about it. Also, as you said, I think we know now that most of his relationships are all confined to the clubs and his regulars there and nothing really outside of that. That issue I do believe is going to be a huge part of this book and it goes a long ways to showing how emotional closed off he is. So, I cannot wait to find out if I am right on that part! SM
