House of Mirth Chapter 13

Gossip Girl here! Your one and only source into the scandalous lives of Manhattan's elite.
Some big, juicy drama for today! Lily seems to have received an invitation from Judy Trenor later that night, for now she is relieved that she is till her friend. However, when she finally arrives to the Trenors place there seems to be something unusual. Gus is home and appears to be drunk. Lily asks where Judy is and he says she's feeling very ill. Gus seems to be very trying to make the moves on her so she chooses to leave. But Gus stops her. He complains how he never spends time with her, almost as if she owes him. She obviously becomes upset and threatens to get Judy unless he gets a cab for her. Turns out Judy was never home and he wants more than conversation. Lily is put in a terrible position, either she rings the bell for servants where they will see what's happening and her reputation will be ruined. Or she lets herself be raped by Gus.
Lily is tired of hearing his complaining how he never spends anytime alone so she says that she's here alone with him now he can tell her whatever he wants. Gus comes to his senses and does not want alone time like this so he tells her to leave.
Last we see of Lily, she leaves the Trenors and a figure she recognizes sees her across the street and walks away. Who's this figure? Will this figure spread word that she was at the Trenors this late at night? Also Gus is a creep, just for the record.
