[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone know what Blake was getting at when he told Mary there was a way to soften the blow to Gillingham (that she didn't want to marry him)?  Mary didn't seem to get it, either, so I"m not sure if the audience was supposed to.  The only thing I could think he meant was that she should tell G she's marrying him (Blake), but I don't see how that would help.

If Mary does end up with Blake, does she have to tell him about her sleeping with G?  What about [b]poor Mr. Pamuk[/b]?  That seemed like such a big deal with Matthew, but it doesn't seem to have hardly come up in Gillingham v. Blake.

Agree that Barrow is trying to cure his homosexuality.  The brochure that the other maid found had the word "Choose" in bold on the ad.  I assume it's along the lines of "Choose your sexuality."  Sad.  Although I like that their giving Barrow a story line beyond being a jerk.

How has no one else, esp the wife, figured out the Marigold is Edith's child?  I mean, the secrecy about her placement with the other family, and Edith's obsession with the kid.  It seems like it wouldn't take much of a leap.

Q about Cora -- she said her dad was Jewish.  I don't know if this was ever explained, but I'm curious (having some sense that her being Jewish was probably a very big deal back then, but not really understanding exactly how it would matter): did Cora's dad convert to some Christian faith, or did her mom convert to Judiasm and Cora was raised Jewish?  Or was she raised both?  Would it had been possible to marry Robert if either of the latter two were the case?  Or could she have been raised Jewish and then converted when she got married to Robert.  The way she said "my father was Jewish" made it sound like she was not, but I was curious.  Also, her brother's being Jewish never came up when he visited and was being hit on by some of the English upper class, so that made me also wonder if maybe Cora's dad converted or, at the very least, the kids were not raised Jewish.

Did you know that Mr. Pamuk is the sexy mofo from Divergent?  Yum! [/quote]
