ElizaMarieI‘m so sad for her! To feel the way she does (inadequate). I wish she was able to talk to her HUSBAND about these things, but #AtLeastSheHasFrank. He is such a sweet man :) Also, yes “modest” has a billion different meanings. #WhatDoYouMean8mo
dabbeI'm glad she has Frank, too, but ouch to his last line: “I suppose she was the most beautiful creature I ever saw in my life.“
Yet ... he calls Rebecca a “creature.“ I looked up the definition and found two interesting thoughts re: Miss-holier-than-thou Rebecca: 1. an animal, as distinct from a human being 2. a fictional being, typically a FRIGHTENING one.
Perhaps Rebecca ain't all she's cracked up to be. 🧐8mo
