Chapter 443

And Edith’s always on about it: “I think Carlene’s great; she’s got a knack for painting, and Eric talked to her today; is he getting feelings for her or what?” Since Carlene’s painting skills were really top–notch and she’s got a leg up on her peers, she’s the most likely candidate to become Herbert’s protégé.

So she busted through Edith’s bias about her background, and Edith gave her the green light to marry Eric.
