BEFORE they journeyed to Aegremonth, specifically to the Harrow's home the night before the ceremony, Mrs Blythe had her reservations concerning Elizabeth's motives.
The first quality that gave her in to suspecting that the girl had something up her sleeves was the way she took the news of staying behind, so calmly.
Elizabeth was a rascal in Mrs Blythe's opinion, and she was never one to accept the feeling of being deprived.
Even though no other person saw this, Mrs Blythe forever held on to her beliefs.
More so, she had always had her suspicions about Beth in every regard. For one, she had always felt that the girl secretly had a dark heart that forever nursed evil intentions towards her own daughter, Louisa.
These evil intentions were born out of sheer jealousy in Mrs Blythe's opinion, and no one could make her perceive Elizabeth in a more naive way.
