"No need. If word of this gets out, people will start gossiping about me again, saying that at my age I don't behave with dignity and am still foolishly clinging to the Lord Marquis without letting go."
"I certainly don't want to become a laughingstock over such a trivial matter. It's just a minor strain; later I'll have a maid apply some ointment, and in a few days I'll be completely healed."
