GR: Thorpe Written by Emmeline (4/3/2003 8:33 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, I think they understand one another, penned by Siobhan

] I always read this as playful teasing. Since we don't know enough to judge otherwise. And in fact, the mother does laugh it off:

] ...So far, I see only good-humoured teasing in John's attentions to his sisters. But I still don't trust him - like Catherine. I haven't seen anything to really worry me... yet. I will keep my eyes open for it!

You see his treatment of his sisters as playful teasing, but what do you think of his treatment of his mother? I don't see that as teasing, I still think he is very rude to his mother and sisters, especially to his mother.
