But...   Written by MaryAnn K. (9/30/2005 2:47 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, Completely Agree, penned by BarbaraB
Are you new?

[We have seen for ourselves how capable and adaptive Anne is, how suited to dealing with adverse situations she can be. She always come through. She remains calm under pressure when everyone around her seems to be falling apart. She does not complain or lay blame, just deals as best she can with the situation. If she had to stand on corners with a cup to beg for money for bread, she would do it well. I look at her now and can't help but feel that if she had it to do over she would have risked everything and been willing to live with the worst case scenario.]

But this is Anne now, after suffering so much for so long and having learned such lessons of self-sacrifice. Had she not had these years to deal with everything, would she be as calm, non-complaiscent, appropriate? It is all speculation, she may as well could have, but I think the years between the engagement and the current time have taught Anne some priceless lessons which she may have had a difficult time learning otherwise.
