Screen Play
There is no mention of 'Huguenot' in Galsworthy's Forsyte books but there is a derisive remark about a governess in the more recent screen adaptation.
Unless a bit of on set nastiness or some tasteless interjection by an actor, it may be an excess of screen writer wit: Henry James' "The Turn of the Screw" has an acting-governess styled "Grose".
