GR: Exactly like her own mother

in consequence of the missive, GR: Fanny's mothering abilities, penned by Candice Michelle
] It is interesting that we don't get to see her doting on Harry. We don't even hear her described as a doting mother who spoils her child, like Lady Middleton is described. Does she spoil him and coddle him? Or does she ignore him and leave him to the care of nannies? I agree, she'll treat him exactly the way her brothers are treated, as instruments of her ambition. I'm also willing to bet she pays little attention to him as long as he behaves himself. Let's just hope he has a kind, sensible governess who manages to instill a little self-esteem. The situation does allow for the perfect revenge on Fanny's principles though: Someday I'm going to write a sequel to S&S where Harry comes of age and into his money, then falls in love and marries *somebody's* illigitimate, penniless ward. ;-) |
