Stupid men who think they know better than a woman. And the father's going to beat her? Right. That will make her love him more. Women and children were legally owned by their father's and husbands at this time in Britian. A history professor told us this when I was at school and he laughed because he said it had never been taken off the books. It was in a Magna Carta if I remember correctly. Can anyone back me on this? / I wish Verity would have left sooner.
It's too awful - Verity should have just run out the door with the Captain and never looked back. The only choice women had then was whose "property" they would be... and lucky if they married someone who didn't make them feel it every day.
