Use of sarcasm
In the first version, Lil says straight out, "Other women"(V. Eliot 13). But in the final draft, she just says sarcastically, "Oh is there." This use of sarcasm makes her a more spirited and believable character, and adds to the idea that it will be the first gossiper, not other women unnamed, who will have an affair with Albert.
