Sounds like Mason has fancied the sex scene. At page 425.3

First Mason smells Dixon's pipe smoke and next, 

"In the after-hum he fancies he can hear Dixon's voice and then
another..." 

So did Dixon have sex with Lady Lepton? 

No, Mason fancies that he Dixon is having sex. 

Is this a both/and situation? 

On 426 the Prof says (once you've got a man holding up a tub for his
partner the jokes, puns too,  just spill out), 

"Say, I hope you Boys ain't had a falling-out?" 

Sounds to me like the theme of these last couple-few chapters, breaking
up is hard to do, husband and wife fights. Who wears the pants in this
marriage, cheating, etc....
