#i'd like to think him holding her hostage was for the selfless reason of not wanting her to have to fret about money for awhile

i do actually wonder what plan lamb had in mind by not letting standish resign. every time a new letter appeared, he probably farted on it and chucked it in the bin. but why? (we all know why!) but in his mind, what did he expect would happen? he couldn't have predicted river's parent-trapping/david cartwright needing a babysitter. so did he just expect standish to get fed up and come to slough house to berate him? and then what? did he imagine if he kept rejecting her letters that the park would force a meeting between them to resolve the matter? lamb really behaved like a married man refusing to sign his divorce papers. my dude, STAND UP.
