Mrs Smith Written by Bridget D (10/27/2011 1:13 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, I find her believable, penned by Amytat

Believable perhaps but scarcely admirable. She says what Anne wants to hear, or what she thinks she wants to hear, becuase she is afraid ot lose her friend.. So why bother to tell her thne when she realises that Anne isn't going to marry Elliott? Why not jsut let it lie? Anne is no danger from Elliott and he MAY have reformed and not be a bad hsuband to any other woman.. so why pour out her story evne ot the point of having letters handy to show A?
