Re: Fingersmith Discussion

I think both of your comments are spot on. Mrs. Sucksby just kind of went about her life doing her business - dirty business, but she didn't relish it. And yeah, the financial situation for Maud and Sue will be a huge boon. Frankly, in as isolated a place as Briar, nobody's even going to think about it. Maud's 18, she's the lady of the house* and she has servants to look over her, so I'm pretty sure nobody would be like "lol u can't live alone" since I think that wasn't unheard of even in that time - if a woman was nobly born or otherwise well-off, she could live alone. Oh, and she's also technically a widow (though is she? I'm not sure what the laws were, but her "marriage" to Gentleman was never consummated, so would it have been legal?) - that helps too. She can call Sue her "companion" and they can live off her fortune.

I have to think, though, that Sue would probably get bored. Hopefully she'd find something to do with herself that's fulfilling and productive.

*well, technically Sue is the lady of the house, but people will perceive it as being Maud
