We could interpret her reluctance to gush over Woodcourt as an unwillingness to admit that she is having feelings for him, because she can't trust that those feelings will be reciprocated since she doesn't think anyone could ever possibly love her. OR we could interpret it as her not liking the menfolk in a general way. Either way, IMPORTANT.Megshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10967657695336270359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252631163414371464.post-44471713170692773092014-02-12T13:24:16.412-08:002014-02-12T13:24:16.412-08:00THE CHILDREN.THE CHILDREN.Megshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10967657695336270359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252631163414371464.post-57008608608221289102014-02-12T13:23:59.242-08:002014-02-12T13:23:59.242-08:00I'm honored that I was able to make you guffaw...I'm honored that I was able to make you guffaw before you weep and die.

Who can say!<br /><br /><br />I LOVE when Esther talks about Mr. Woodcourt, cause she's all like 'SOME might say his company is pleasant' and 'he will be missed by all, I suspect' and shit like that and I'm like 'DUDE, just admit that you like him.' <br /><br /><br />Although obviously she will love Ada with the fire of a million suns forever and ever.Megshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10967657695336270359noreply@blogger.com
