julieclairIt‘s nice to have some good things happening…. at last! I‘m so glad Jemima is now out from under her father‘s crushing thumb, and is allowed to visit Ruth. And a job for Ruth is great news, even if Jemima thinks the job is beneath her. How can Jemima not understand that no one will hire Ruth for the kind of job that requires Latin?3w
mcctrish@julieclair I think Jemima is just feeling thwarted, she‘s waited 2-3 years to be able to have her friend Ruth back and now Ruth will be locked up caring for sick people. But maybe if Ruth can spend some time at the F house it will turn the tide back in her favour #lethewithoutsincastthefirststone#iwillwait3w

RuthiellaI hope Jemima‘s acceptance and Ruth‘s good actions will help the village come round to accepting her and also understanding as Christians that sin can be forgiven by both god and man.3w
Cuilin@Ruthiella yes and there‘s no need for “the sins of the mother visit upon the child” bull 💩3w
julieclair@mcctrish and@Ruthiella Fingers crossed you‘re both right and Ruth will be accepted by the town again. She deserves a break!3w
Clare-DragonflyI‘m so happy to see Jemima and Ruth being friends again! I am annoyed that people keep talking about certain jobs as being below Ruth, though. She needs a job! It‘s also strange from my modern perspective that Jemima thinks nursing is a lowly occupation that doesn‘t require education.3w
BookwormjillkI'm so glad Ruth got a job, but am worried she'll bring something home to Leonard.3w
willaful I feel like there are too many threads that go nowhere here. What ever happened to Donne winning the seat? Why does Dick keep coming up and then disappearing again? Stop spending so much time on stuff if it doesn't matter! She screams at the long dead 19th century author writing 19th century books.3w
currentlyreadinginCOAlso that bit about Ruth and Jemima musing that it would be nice for Ruth to take care of sick Jemima was odd to me 😂3w
dabbe@Bookwormjillk Diseases were rampant then. I'm also worried that she might contract something that will harm her. I feel Jemima's thinking the job is beneath her could also serve as foreshadowing doom.3w
Bookwormjillk@dabbe Yes, because we know there's no way it will go right for her. They keep saying how weak Leonard is.3w
rubyslippersreads@dabbe@Bookwormjillk I hope the moral of this story isn‘t going to be that the only way for Ruth to atone for her sin is to die in the service of nursing the sick. 😕3w
dabbe@rubyslippersreads@Bookwormjillk 🎯. It's like, “Hey, it's 1692 in Salem. We think you're a witch and are going to throw you in the river. If you drown, guess what? You're not a witch! If you swim, well, we'll kill you anyway for being a witch!“ 😀3w
