She is 38 Written by Mary Ellen (9/28/2005 9:05 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Ages of the Crofts?, penned by Margaret 7

I was surprised that she was so young. Meaning, exactly the age that I am now. I had pictured her as a comfortable middle aged woman. I'm guessing he is at least her age. We would have to know something about the progress of the war to know how long it had been profitable to individuals. From the first chapters, the impression I had was that it was only recently that many navy men were coming home with extra income to spend on renting fine estates and so forth.
