Summary
This is a different sort of story-more of a character study of Cora (and a bit of Mrs Hughes) from the S2 timeline, taking place in the week following Lavinia's death (E8). It's a study of what Cora may have been feeling and a little of my own assumptions about whether or not she knew about Robert and Jane, the maid. Angst! Comfort. Excerpts of Hardy's 'Tess of the D'Urbervilles.'
