Librarybelle The son had feelings for Mary, right? To me, I thought his covering for Mary was some weird shielding her from discovery out of love scenario. I think this also shows the dangers of leaping to conclusions - the patriarch immediately labeling the son as the culprit. 13mo
dabbe @Librarybelle And the father's following of stereotypes: because the son was a gambler, well he must be a thief then too, right? Wonder if that's a hasty generalization fallacy that we both thought of? 🤔 13mo
CrystalE02 The father's actions and process of thought got me, but it was the time period of the past. That was the way they thought back then. Mary would have been a pawn of her family at the time 13mo

Librarybelle Yes, @dabbe . Agreed! 13mo
Aimeesue Son: I ain‘t a snitch! Dad: We must find the beryls to avoid National disgrace! Mary: I‘m not saying *I* did it, but Sonny Boy is innocent, I just know it! 13mo
Cuilin @Aimeesue perfect summary, I can tell you hang out with the #hashtagbrigade lol 😆 13mo
CogsOfEncouragement Love is crazy I guess, Holder's son would rather be in jail than put Mary there, no matter the circumstances. Mary's decisions make me sad. I'm sure Burnwell was using her for such a time as this. I don't trust him to have been true to her even if the scheme had worked. I think Mary did leave to be with Burnwell, I just don't think Burnwell will be interested in her for much longer and Mary will be worse off than ever. 13mo
IndoorDame I definitely think lying, knowing you may end up in prison, to protect a woman you know doesn‘t love you is all about honor, and a kind of honor that you really don‘t see anymore. 13mo
Aimeesue @Cuilin #wetalkintags 😂 13mo
Aimeesue @CogsOfEncouragement I agree, he‘s going to dump Mary as soon as she‘s not useful. 13mo
