[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the poster who said a few pages  back that I actually like Mary.  Even I, one of the biggest Mary fans ever, was horrified by her this episode.  And yes what were they thinking giving her a happy ending!?!?!  While Edith's guy left!?!?  No one can even be happy for Mary anymore, she's so nasty.  Bertie better come back - although I have to say Edith was SO STUPID not to tell him about Marigold - [b]he'd have been ok with it[/b], he's rich now, and happy ending Edith![/quote]

Historically, that's not true, and Edith had been making comments to him about worthiness and how her life is complicated and how she wanted to say yes but . . . And he just pushed on and announced to everyone that they were engaged. I don't fault him for that, because I love Bertie, but this wasn't just Edith screwing up.

Mary seems to have forgotten that not very long ago, she was busted for her week of boinking. I know Edith wasn't privy to that, but for Mary to be holier-than-thou to Edith adds hypocrisy to general mean-spiritedness. At least she told Matthew about Mr. Pamuk before they got married. Handsome racer guy, nothing.

Lord G is hilarious these days.  When he found out Bertie was rich he literally said something like "Good Golly that's fantastic!"

"Golly gumdrops, what a turn-up"[/quote]

yes!  that was the quote.  his childlike glee between that and the dog are sort of cute.  also he looked sweet in the top hat at the wedding.

didn't love the super fast wedding.  they drag out mary's love life for 4 seasons (or however long it's been since matthew died) and then it's over in 10 minutes?

i think bertie would have stayed with edith if she'd told him.  he basically said as much - [b]that it was the lying that made him leave[/b].[/quote]

What I think is especially sad is that it seemed as if Edith was still trying to decide whether/how to tell him. It wasn't as if she officially accepted or got far down the line with an engagement without saying something. It seemed clear that she was struggling with it the night before. I wondered why she didn't tell him that she had planned to tell him herself later that day or something. True, she lied about Marigold when she first met him, but why on earth would she have shared something that damaging with him at that point. [/quote]

I totally agree with this.  Why didn't she put up more of a fight?  Why not say she was struggling with how to do it and point out that she never technically said yes.  He was in such a rush to get a yes that he took her profession of love and unwillingness to say no as a yes.  It was too sad-sack to just say that she understood and watch him leave.

Agree!  The only time we've seen some fighting spirit from her was when she FINALLY confronted Mary and said what needed to be said (i.e. "You're a bitch!").  Why doesn't she speak up for herself????  UGH![/quote]
