Margaret Brackenreid: An appreciation

Margaret Brackenreid. Social climbing wife of a police inspector. Met her husband when he was arresting her. Used to cuss until she cared what people thought. Has been arrested multiple times, at least once for gambling. Does not believe that she needs the vote herself because she controls her husband's. Went so hard with the temperance movement for a while that she hosted Carry Nation in her home. (No longer abstains.) Learned to cook a bunch of Chinese dishes because she thought they were neat. Started and ran her own wedding planning business. Did not hesitate to cheat in order to win a cooking contest to become the face of a tinned meat company. Frightened the crap out of some neighbourhood hooligans by jump-scaring them dressed as a witch on Halloween. Fiercely protective of her sons. So traumatized by hearing her older son had a tryst with a married woman that she fainted and then blocked out the matter entirely. Took a bullet for her younger son. Accepted her husband's mixed-race, born-out-of-wedlock daughter as her own family. Has gaydar and demanded that her husband support gay rights. Now works outside the home as a nurse. Canonically psychic. I love her.

The Brackenreids are on their way back to Toronto.

Margaret would drop the f-bomb when her Yorkshire pudding fell or the can opener broke on a tin of Madison’s Fine Beef.

Ruth would get caught up in a game of bunco, and cheerfully whisper “I’ll fucking gut you” to the guy who’s cheating.

Margaret Brackenreid gets better every year.
