Brava! Could have been included in the original editions of The Pearl and would have proven a ten-strike with the Victorian readership.
The story had the dialect of an older style of language. The lady was definitley not afraid to speak her mind. I found this quite entertaining. It was like finding an old letter in a trunk in the attic.
From the language used to the sincerity of emotion displayed it had me enthralled in the character's world.
