Having given it some thought, I do think the reaction makes sense, especially with a loved one who is particularly vulnerable, such as Mrs. Frensham's husband. And I love that novels can help us understand such things.Furrowed Middlebrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12065110409019861653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5595702824833504762.post-21286407766071138092015-01-14T06:18:51.235-08:002015-01-14T06:18:51.235-08:00Thanks, Del.

Mrs Frensham simply knew that she didn't need to protect her husband anymore.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07905440771456235834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5595702824833504762.post-11070018735985219102015-01-11T09:09:29.893-08:002015-01-11T09:09:29.893-08:00Thank you for a marvelous review, Scott, particula...Thank you for a marvelous review, Scott, particularly your last long quote.
