Clare-Dragonfly@BarkingMadRead That‘s what I thought was going on and was a bit annoyed with Faith for lying to Ruth! But instead I‘m annoyed with her for giving back such a large amount of money 😂 I can‘t fault Ruth‘s principles but you got it exactly right—no concept of money.1mo
mcctrishFaith is all “she gives the money back, what a wonderful girl! “She gives the money back, does she have any idea of the cost of things?!” Somebody have sense here, please!!! Keep the money and ask for MORE! Bankrupt the Bellingshits1mo
BookwormjillkI kind of admired Ruth sending the money back, but also yeah it was dumb. They should have kept it for her.1mo
currentlyreadinginCOThey should have kept it for her, but they were going to take it without telling her anyway?? I'm surprised that they even sent it back and didn't pocket it for the trouble....1mo
AllDebooks@BarkingMadRead I honestly think Ruth hasn't a clue about anything. Her vulnerability and naivety are utterly terrifying. Off she trots with more random strangers, who, yes, have been good to her so far, but she's so trusting. 🫣1mo
dabbe@currentlyreadinginCO That's exactly what I thought! If the minister and his sis are able to lie that Ruth is a widow, surely they can keep the money without telling Ruth and use it to help her. #plotholehere1mo
willafulI wonder if this was convention at the time or if this book was part of starting the convention. I can't tell you how many romance heroines have gotten up my nose by refusing to take support for their secret babies...1mo
