The Tenant of Wildfell Hall
75Worth an evening.
She takes the child and goes, and the law of the time is not with her.
The review
The law of her time was not on her side, and she went anyway. Helen takes her child and leaves. The town gossips. A diary tells what the marriage was. I will not linger on the drinking. It is adult enough for a ruined household: not a small child, and a teen only if you say the marriage is the wreck first.
Leaving is the courage. She supports herself without anybody official blessing the exit. I wanted that blessing, and the book refuses it. Anyone who tells people to stay for appearances should read this before repeating the advice. The child goes with her. That is the choice I trust.

The glance
Temperance is the thin one.
Is appetite shown and then put down, or are you being trained to want the next one?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
