Don't get this

It says in the article that Emily Dickinson "is said to have had to witness audibly the ongoing affair, and to have been routinely displaced from her place of creative work to provide it an ongoing venue.[2]" It then says that Emily Dickinson never met Mabel Todd. What does "witness audibly the ongoing affair" mean and if they didn't meet how could she witness it? Also, if Dickinson was "displaced from her place of creative work" does that mean she left the house because her brother and Todd were there? This sentence makes no sense at all. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.119.151.233 (talk) 07:56, 11 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I had the exact same two questions and was about to post them on the Talk page, and then I saw you had beaten me to it. Almost two years without an answer.... — Lawrence King ^(talk) 01:38, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It means that the affair happened in Emily's house, but she remained in a separate room — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:E000:9304:CB00:D13:1D91:28D9:1E30 (talk) 22:24, 22 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
