[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While I know what Edith did was awful and I doubt it was the right choice, I have to say that for pure entertainment's sake  (this is a television show, afterall, and not real life) i loved for mean Mrs. Drewe to get hers. Of course, Edith is a pretty bad person (shafted the first adoptive family, forced Mr. Drewe to keep her secret to the detriment of his marriage and family, etc.) but after Mrs. Drewe's awful behavior I wasn't terribly bummed for her. [/quote]

Mrs. Drewe's awful behavior??  She was taking care of a child for years(?) that I think she suspected was her husband's love child with a Lady of the Manor.  Mrs. D had to work (real work like baking bread & heating water for baths) probably every waking hour to take care of her family and Edith just wallows around sticking her nose in.  ugh.[/quote]

While I didn't particularly like Mrs. Drewe, I admired her for taking such good care of Marigold and treating her like she was her very own daughter.  And PP, you're absolutely right about all the very hard work Mrs. Drewe had to do, just to keep her own household going.  And in waltzes Edith all the time, to have some fun time with Marigold with no household burdens attached.  I would have been so resentful.  My heart just broke for her when Edith took Marigold away.  I can't even imagine the pain of having someone come and take your baby/toddler away.  Even if the child wasn't biologically Mrs. Drewe's, she was still "her" child, for all intensive purposes.  That was a wrenching scene.
