During her marriage with Ralph, Undine got used to being able to trick her husband. In fact, she often didn’t even have to trick him—she could spend time out in the open with Peter Van Degen and Ralph would barely even react. This gave her false confidence that she would always be able control her marriages—when in fact Raymond has been hiding things from her right under her nose. The Princess implies that when Raymond pretends to be going to political events, he’s really going to see other women. Once again, Undine hates when a character treats her the way she used to treat other characters.
