"Basically, he takes her as his mistress and he is never at any point saying he is going to be faithful to her but he expects her to be faithful to him and when he hears rumours that she isn't, she loses her job."In another letter [Lord] Byron talks about his time in Albania and Ali Pasha, the ruler, who impressed him as a "fine portly person with two hundred women and as many boys, many of the last I saw and very pretty creatures they were."
