Chapter 14 Slandered By Emmeline

The person who opened the door for them was Margaret Saunders, Emmeline’s mother.

Jonathan’s impression of his mother-in-law was that she was extremely coarse, mean, and petty. Since he married into the Smith family, she had never liked him and took pleasure in humiliating him or making him run errands.
