Miss Pendleton (Update to C.222 END) - Chapter 34
Mrs. Lance chuckled.
“You don’t know yet. Many couples live like that.”
“That’s nonsense. It’s truly disgusting. That can’t be called a normal married relationship.”
“Yes, it’s disgusting. And it’s not normal. So if you don’t want to end up like that……”
But Miss Lance didn’t even hear her mother’s words.
“Mother, isn’t it too horrible? No matter how much she lives under her mother’s name instead of her father’s, she’s still an earl’s daughter. And to think she has to entrust herself to such an uncultured, pot-bellied old man from America. What in the world is going on with British society?”
“Hmm, it is horrible. Truly horrible. That’s why you need to keep your wits about you and make sure you hold onto Mr. Dalton. Time is never on a woman’s side, you know. Miss Pendleton didn’t realize that, and look at her still unable to shed the ‘Miss’ from her name. It’s fortunate for her that Mr. Price has appeared even now.”
Miss Lance, who had been trembling with sympathy for Miss Pendleton, opened her eyes wide at her mother’s words.
“Mother, do you think Miss Pendleton should accept Mr. Price’s courtship?”
“Of course. What other clever option does Miss Pendleton have besides catching Mr. Price?”
Miss Lance retorted with disgust.
“Is that Miss Pendleton’s only path? If that’s true, Miss Pendleton would be better off dead!”
“Child, don’t talk such nonsense. Do you know how rich Mr. Price is? If she becomes his wife, she can live lavishly in New York society as Mrs. Price. That’s better than dying, and far, far better than living as an old maid like she is now. If she misses this chance, Miss Pendleton will literally end up on the streets. That’s the kind of situation where one might think it’s better to die.”
But even though Mrs. Lance said this, it couldn’t possibly resonate with Miss Lance, who had lived her whole life without knowing even the first letter of poverty. She continued to show endless contempt and denial towards her mother’s views, grating on Mrs. Lance’s nerves.
Finally, frustrated by her daughter who blocked her ears to her teachings and kept babbling her own thoughts, Mrs. Lance gave her cute daughter Miss Lance a flick on the forehead to shut her mouth.

It is so heartbreaking that Laura went through all the terrible things since her childhood.
It’s progressing a bit slowly, but nicely… I hope there won’t be unnecessary distances between them due to misunderstandings.
I think this trip to Bath will be good to Laura. Meeting these women will inspire her to be more confident. I just hope her ex and Mr. Dalton don’t ruin it.
