This was inspired by Brandie's post about Rosamond. I also feel bad for Rosamond because she has to rely on Lydgate and her father for money. I'm sure that occurred with many women back then. This thought reminded me of the part in the novel when Mr. Vincy considered renouncing his blessing of their marriage. Lydgate and Rosamond decide to speed up the marriage process, and he starts purchasing stuff for their new home. However, he spends his savings and starts buying on credit.
Now, maybe my lack of focus messed with me and I missed this part completely, but does Rosamond know that he did that? Is she aware that he had to buy on credit? Or is she completely oblivious? In a way, I can kind of picture her not knowing a thing and just assuming that she will be taken care of, no matter what.
Also, after today's discussion of the "kissing away tears" thing, I drew a cartoon. Enjoy! :)
(If you can't read it, he is saying "Don't be sad. I shall kiss away your tears" to which she replies "Eww..." And the cute little tissue box says "Pick me!")
Happiest and cutest tissue box ever.
