[Rather than answering, Dorian just smiles.] It is typical of men of my class to have a place in town and a place in the country. And often two lovers and two identities to go with them.
One thing and two others, I should hope—but you do otherwise fit the part. Poor Mr. Pinchwife would have preferred to have wed you over the country wife he actually married.
She is supposed to be too ignorant of sexual matters to make a man into a cuckold. [He laughs.] As if one grows up in ignorance with livestock all around.
[Dorian pauses a moment. Then he brings Judas's hand to his mouth for a kiss.] Fortunately, we are not wed, so you cannot be an adulterer. No need to bring Leviticus into it.
[Judas presses his lips together, but just can't shake the laugh.] Just about. Even a bad traitor. But really, it's for that reason I didn't marry, while most other things apparently I at least try.
[Dorian lifts his eyebrows—'ok sure if you say so' and lowers his hands.] As you will. But don't hesitate to tell me if you change your mind. Not really my thing, I confess, but what are friends for?
[It's all Dorian can do to keep from laughing at the very thought.] Yes, you do give off the impression of being more than a little vanilla-flavoured, despite your peculiar little habits.

[Although he can't argue with the rest. And he doesn't have plants or chickens to look after, it's not as if there's a need to be in the hotel.]
...And you're sure you'd rather stay out here than to at least have a bed and a roof? Or do you just want an excuse to stay at the piano?

...I think there might be one or two things in the way of that, sorry.

No, I'm sure a 'country wife' is supposed to be obedient and sweet, and that isn't me.
