Lady Audley's Secret: Chapter 2
By Superuser
George Talboys is an interesting one—I’m not totally sure what to make of him yet. The whole situation with him and Miss Morley feels kind of random, but in a way that makes me want to know more. I also can’t decide how I feel about what happens after his story with his wife and all the bad luck that follows. And him going after fortune in Australia while leaving her behind just doesn’t sit right with me. The part that really bugs me is that after three years he’s only written one letter—either it’s just there to move the plot along, or it makes him look pretty untrustworthy. And if Lucy really is his wife, my opinion on her hasn’t shifted much either, honestly.
