"scandalous stories which had prejudiced the gentry of the town against her."(Pg. 579) [Frag - 1] When asked to participate in the experiment, they were all a little skeptical. [Why is this relevant to the thesis?] Mr. Medbourne and Mr. Gascoigne went along with it, but Colonel and Widow Wycherly found it to be nonsense.
