And so the illicit [affair] drags on and [on], and you can see Madame Bovary, that indispensable helpmeet of every unhappily married lass, coming around the [corner]. 

lass
–noun 
1. a girl 
or 
young woman, esp. one who is unmarried. 

2. a female sweetheart: a young [lad] and his [lass]. 

Sure enough, she shows up as the hot read at a women's book group where Sarah defends the freedom to choose a satisfying life against a young matron (played with delicious snarkiness by Mary B. McCann) who's appalled [at] the very idea of an adulterous heroine. 

Having made its pitch for life, liberty, and the pursuit of romantic happiness, Little Children takes a sudden [left] turn, gathers itself into a moue of petit bourgeois [dis]approval, and deals out the wages of sin with such zealous overkill, it put me in mind of the nuttily [dis]cordant murder that [de]railed the final scenes of In the Bedroom
