Lord Weston is absent minded-does not remember that he has written the note himself-neither does he recognise his handwriting- immediately jumps to a conclusion that his life is in danger- pompous to believe that he is as important as Julius Caesarpanics and takes hasty and extreme measures for his protection- Lady Weston on the other hand is a practical woman with a great deal of common sense- Knows her husband'* habit of over reacting- tries to bring sanity to the situation by reasoning with him-but when it seems he is not willing to listen to sense she makes light of the situation by using humour and sarcasm.
