Letter: Barrister only doing her job

Sir: Cleavage Castilian-style ("A come-on, or a kind of armour", 22 August) as reported by John Hay in Castilian Days (1871). "A maiden of fifteen said to me: 'I must go to a party this evening decolletee, and I hate it. Benigno is getting old enough to marry, and he wants to see all the girls in low neck before he makes up his mind.' "
