I...I don't think I need my neck anymore

This is for all the media/culture things I love. Expect a lot of book, movie, TV, and music reviews/fangirling here, plus psychoanalysis of fictional characters. Enjoy! (I tag all fandoms, so if you are looking for a specific one, just use the search tool.) About me: science nerd, bookworm, history nerd, likes memes and puns to an unhealthy degree. Background drawing is one I did of Rosalind Franklin, a major personal hero. Probably oversharing in this description. The title of my blog-if yk yk.

it’s just the fact that it never even occurs to Mr. Drewe to tell his wife the truth about Marigold…he would literally do anything to avoid telling her…

I always assumed he didn’t want to tell Mrs. Drewe that Marigold was Edith’s daughter because he was worried that she might translate “Marigold is really Edith’s daughter that I decided we, of all people, should adopt and then proceeded to lie to you about the circumstances involved for as long as I could” to “I had an affair with Edith and Marigold is our child”.

Yeah, that's what I thought, too. Remember, this is the same random farmer that Edith had a bit of a flirtation with, back during the war when she decided to be a Land Girl for a week--and his wife saw it.

No, that was a different farmer. Mr. Drake was the name of the farmer that she got (very briefly) involved with during WWI. (I've mixed them up too.)
