“YOUR GIRLFRIEND WAS A NASTY RAKE” :0
Excellent page as always!

“And you were but a bit better. You aided the Miller’s Daughter in robbery and perhaps murder yourself!”

“Cherish her as she deserves or else I will drown ye cheating ass.”

What? No revenge against the asshole who started it all? No ‘you bastard, you ruined our lives’?

From what I can tell, all he really did was flirt with Laoghaire while engaged to her sister. Not the best thing to do, obviously, and that does make him an asshole. However, it’s not quite worthy of retribution on the same level as Jessa’s drowning.

Besides, in this scene it seems to me that Laoghaire is more focused on making amends and ensuring that her loved ones receive closure so they can move on. Calling out her pregnant sister’s husband in a full court isn’t going to help that. Odds are the guy is going to feel some guilt for his role in things for the rest of his life anyway.

Building off of what Carolyn said, taking revenge on her sister’s husband and thus robbing her sister of a husband and their child of a father wouldn’t be right.

Looking at this, it makes me wonder did he really even love either one? The marriage was arranged and it just looks like he was more of a flirt than anything.
