I know in book canon Marina is a Bridgerton cousin and not a Featherington cousin, and I know they made this change so they could do the whole pregnancy love triangle thing, but watching season 1 makes me wish Marina was a Bridgerton cousin just so she could get some family affection!! Marina would be so loved by the Bridgertons.
#even tho if she were a bridgerton cousin her plot couldn't even exist bc she was there for like. penelope related reasons.#marina Thompson#deserves better#bridgerton#bridgerton siblings#violet would have been so much more supportive than portia. she probs would have been doing the same thing trying to marry her off#but also looking for the baby's father bc LOVE IS SO SPECIAL TO HER!!!#so like. looking for someone to marry marina but being so Violet about it.#i'm saying stuff

What Penelope did to Marina was fucking wretched. Marina didn’t deserve that. And knowing what her fate was in the books? She tried to do the best she could in a society that would have discarded and exiled her- would have, did. This is not even a through a modern lens.
Colin DID want to marry her. She would have been happy. And had she felt SAFE enough to tell him, I’ve no doubt she would have. Penelope acted the jealous, petty child and destroyed Marina to do it. Simply because she was jealous. Not truly out of concern for Colin.
I felt bad for Penelope - no doubt she was bullied. But she turned around and put that ten-fold on the only person who was kind to her and genuinely was her friend and family aside from Eloise or Colin.
#marina thompson#she deserved better#penelope fetherington#bridgerton#this redemption arc is going to be weak without her#not to mention all the racist hate ruby barker got?? i'm almost glad she's not in the show for that

Marina Thompson Crane is forced back into society following after, not only, her husband's death but discovering that he left everything in his name---from the land to the responsibilities to the money all connected to him---to her. She is now Lady Crane and surrounded by those who await to sink their teeth into her, just as they done before when she was younger, only now with some faux respectability given her new title.
Finding friends is hard, or maybe because she makes it so given the last time, so when Eloise Bridgerton starts making conversation with her Marina can't help but study it with a sharp eye. It's not the first time someone had tried to get in her good graces, throwing in an overly kind compliment that, once upon a time, would have made her heart soar, but now only makes her alert. She was in no mood for a repeat of her first season nor the events that followed. But Eloise keeps pushing, with all her stubbornness and lack of filter, hurriedly rushing to apologize whenever she makes a misstep before standing her ground the next. While most people, when they look to Marina, see an outcast, a woman who got off lucky but has no right to the title of her late husband, Eloise sees a woman subjected to the same harshness of their world that many others had not been so fortunate enough to withstand. Eloise sees someone who could inspire.
Marina appreciates her honesty and becomes more responsive towards the younger Bridgerton girl, indulging her from time to time. And, maybe, because it was nice to have a friend. Whenever Colin comes towards her, Eloise is always there to divert his attention, and whenever Marina attempts to seek out Penelope, the girl who always seems to lurk near the pair, Eloise quickly steers in the other direction with a cold look in response to the youngest Featherington.
It isn't long before a few other young girls flock to the pair, some well off while others are clinging to what they have left. They're all different from one another, but have a shared desire. They don't want a part in the ways of the Ton nor to lose their liberties, but fear the consequences if they do (for how could they remain standing on their own if things don't work out?) Marina is someone they respect. At first, she doesn't see it that way and quickly tries to wave them off, as she wants no part in some girls' rebellious behavior when she has her own children to think of, until she sees how desperate they are. How much she inspires them. How alone they are.
How much they remind her of herself.
Marina doesn't necessarily know how it starts, as it's a tedious process with how some members of society still see her as tarnished and don't want their children near her, but they work it out. Young girls flock to her home, seeking a break from the stresses of the Ton and their expectations, and leave with more knowledge of their self-worth and friendships that they've never had before. It doesn't start out as much, but it grows into something more than Marina could expect (or hope for).
It's also a surprise when the youngest Sharma sister stops by her door, all with a blinding smile and hopes to be accepted given the fact that society views her as a pariah and mocks her when they think she cannot hear. For it was her that ran away from the Viscount during their would be wedding, so she must be the problem. Marina sees that she lacks friends as well or, more so, a friend that can understand her grief. How could she turn her away? Answer: she never would.
#bridgerton#marina thompson#eloise bridgerton#edwina sharma#there's more that could be added to this but its main consensus is women & girls supporting one another#uplifting one another in a society that tries to drag them down#i might make this into a fic on my ao3 but idk#this was mainly to indulge myself but if anyone found it interesting let me know#this is mainly about marina bc i love her & she deserves better#her & eloise & edwina would definitely make great friends#the group helps any women in need whether they want to participate in the ton activities or not as no one is turned away

There's a theory she already knows and has just learned to move past it.
She wanted a good life for her kids and didn't care about how society saw her (only reason she did what she did towards the end was because she thought she couldn't provide for them), she still got that and got to have her children have their father's name. Obviously her life sucks (I truly think the only way it wouldn't is if George didn't end up KIA and they married) and it left her traumatized, but that's also the effect of the entire situation in gen.
I find it fascinating considering the nuance that would add to the situation. Like, she knew and still kind of forgave her and pushed Colin in her direction.

You have a lot of nerve complaining about the fandom not liking Marina. She did a shitty thing and people are allowed to not like her. I haven't seen you say anything about the hate Anthony gets. He also did some shitty things in season 1 and people hate him for it, which is valid. Anthony/JB actually gets more hate from assholes like you think him being casted ruins their "diversity quota" for the show. All you do is use Marina and Simon to trash everyone else, both fans and the cast. Piss off
Lol, Anthony is a grown ass adult white man; an extremely rich and well connected titled white man holding an incredibly privileged position in society. Marina is a teenage girl away from home being hosted by a family that doesn’t really want to host her, and who’s literally trying to ensure the survival of herself and her unborn baby. You know who didn’t have options? Marina. You know who had plenty? Anthony (and Colin).
It’s fine not liking what Marina did, but there’s never any acknowledgement that Marina was in an extremely difficult and impossible position, and she did the only thing she thought she could that wouldn’t condemn her to a life she hated. Why is it okay for every other character to look for some semblance of happiness however they can, but you draw the line at Marina? Is it because she had the audacity to have sex with someone she loved (and who possibly loved her too) before she was married? Because it comes across as though you’re trying to punish her for that just because she happened to get in the middle of a beloved ship.
And the fact that everyone involved in Marina’s storyline is white (and in much better positions in society) and that she’s a black woman, adds a racial element, whether you want to acknowledge that or not.

Including a screenshot of the tags, because they deserve to be seen in this reblog
FINALLY SOMEONE SPEAKS THE TRUTH

today, i'm thinking about how Penelope had 0 qualms about Marina lying to and potentially tricking someone into marrying her whilst hiding a potentially family and life ruining secret, (be honest, Penelope's only beef w/ Marina was that she wanted Colin for herself, she's fine w/ her doing it to anyone else) further evidenced by how Penelope is going to follow a very similar plan in S3 according to the synopsis
but
when *Penelope* hides her life ruining secret of being Lady Whistledown and literally being pursued by the Queen of England whom she continues goading, instead putting on a favorable persona and literally getting *lessons* to trick her way into getting a husband, the fandom considers her a girlboss. when *Marina* hides her life ruining secret of being pregnant before she came to the city (and is manipulated and mistreated and otherized by almost everyone in the ton except for Colin, the man she very understandably chooses) and *still* holds out hope for George until she literally has no option but to look elsewhere so she can get married and secure her future to provide for her children, she's considered a heartless bitch
now i wonder why it is the fandom has sooooo many qualms with one but not the other
qwhite interesting
#marina thompson#bridgerton#'lying' to a man in order to secure your future is palatable when a white woman does it even if her reasons are pretty mid#but it's bad and wrong when a black woman does it for the sake of saving her and her baby's literal life#marina deserves better#bridgerton season three

When I think about it, Marina from the books could have died from a horrific accident. Like she accidentally drowned and it traumatized Phillip and the kids.
And now I'm very scared for Marina from TV because she wasn't allowed to have any happiness. And she's going to die so Eloise can get together with Phillip.
See, if they had a healthy marriage, I would have preferred that. Like, she and Philip found some happiness with the twins and then a tragic accident would have been something I could have respected. And then to see the twins and Philip miss her.
There are so many easier and better ways to do the widower storyline that doesn't include demonising a mentally ill woman or ensuring she is never happy.

Me, as I debate writing a fic about Marina Thompson, providing her more justice than the show or fandom, where she becomes Lady Crane after her husband's death and has to navigate society again now with her new status, struggling to learn who is friend and who is foe while having old wounds reopened. Even debating whether to make a new love interest for her, or have her and Eloise get together because either one would be so cute:
#bridgerton#marina thompson#eloise bridgerton#like marina deserved so much better and i will make sure that she does#like either have her get married to someone who actually loves her (whether oc or eloise) or having her start a spinster club and helping-#young women in need or providing support to those outcasted by society

I feel for Marina, not only is she a woman who has fallen in the eyes of polite society, not only for having rompy pompy out of wedlock. But becoming pregnant with a child out of wedlock as well.
Then she turned around and tried to trick Colin Bridgerton down the aisle to cover for her child. Colin might be a third son, but he comes from a respected old family that carry some weight. Marina is a girl with no family, no money, and no connections to protect her.
To the ton, she’s not just a fallen woman for making love and getting up the duff. She’s a wicked woman as well for trying to trick her way into one of the most important families of the land that now include the Duke and Duchess of Hastings as it’s family members.
So yeah Pen, threw Marina to the wolves out of stupidity, bitterness, and jealousy. Marina might not have been in the right for what she was doing for Colin, but back then Marina had so few options. She took the lesser of the two evils and she has been destroyed simply because she caught the eye of Colin. Who I firmly believe that Marina would have been a good wife to.

You have put a lot of words in my mouth and made several assumptions. She wants biological kids which can’t happen in that time period with wlw relationships because IVF and surrogacy don’t exist yet. It would be like adding someone who was going through gender reassignment surgery, something that just didn’t exist and wasn’t possible during this time. Also it does take away representation by erasing the majority ofher story.
It also seems you just wanted to argue with me by your language instead of having a discussion which could have occurred in private. Many LGBTQ+ have agreed that they deserve their own representation not just a erasure of an important story. It also seems like one of your paragraphs seemed to wanna play the “well they made characters black so why can’t they be gay?” which is pitting two marginalized groups against each other. Yeah you may not have said it directly but one can read between the lines based on your wording and repeated use of “diversity”. As a black and arab woman who keeps seeing this argument it’s quite disappointing to hear it from a member of another marginalized group. Also race doesn’t change the ability for one to have biological children with their partner (something that unfortunately two women can’t do without IVF or surrogacy as previously stated).
Marina’s story is not at all the same because she had her children whereas Francesca lost hers and only rejoined the marriage mart to have biological kids which as stated earlier can’t happen with a woman. I have never seen women with infertility issues be represented in media or in Bridgerton but I have seen bisexual and gay relationships represented (Brimsley and Reynolds, Benedict discovering he may like men too). My mother lost my brother soon after his birth and I know she probably would have loved to see the original story because she’s never seen any close representation.
It’s also ridiculous for you to assume what I meant by Eloise being a better choice for a bi or lesbian relationship by claiming I think that because she’s outspoken…. if you met people who actually knew me you’d know I’m outspoken….doesn’t make one a lesbian so why would I ever assume such? If we’re watching the same show as I assume we are you’d know Eloise has never shown any interest in any men so it could make sense for her to end up falling for another woman.
Netflix has also been known to queerbait and add LGBTQ+ characters for a cash grab. This is something I’ve heard from a lot of members of the LGBTQ+ community and it’s been easy to tell. Netflix is a corporation that hasn’t even cared about the actors they hire (the actress who played Marina Thompson had two mental breakdowns during and after season 1 and Netflix provided her with absolutely no support).
Now I think it best to end this argument here because I don’t see us seeing eye to eye on this matter especially when things that were never said are being assumed. For someone saying at the beginning that they weren’t trying to accuse me before going on to do just that I think you should see things from the point of view of women who have miscarried. I don’t know if you’ve read Francesca’s book, but if not I think you should. I’d rather you not reblog this with another argument and instead message me with anything else you would like to add because I don’t know about you but I don’t come to tumblr to argue. There have been others who probably disagreed (and they have every right too) that just scrolled past instead of trying to paint me as a bad person while claiming they weren’t doing exactly that. I hope LGBTQ+ people get representation but I also believe this was a great chance at representation for women who resonate with Francesca’s story that haven’t read the books.
[contains Bridgerton book series spoilers]
I’m going to try to be careful with my words because my intentions are never to upset anyone especially members of a fellow marginalized community that I personally don’t belong too. I am disappointed in the rewriting of Francesca’s story. A big part of her book is her deep love for John Sterling and struggle with infertility. She loved John more than anything and when he died she mourned for yearsss and only rejoined the marriage market because she desperately wanted kids of her own after losing their child. I understand queer representation is important to those in the LGBTQ+ community, but there are many books about LGBTQ+ love that Netflix could adapt into a show or movie. Heartstopper is an example of one they’ve adapted and I’ve seen so many people who love and resonate with that show. Or an alternative would be to make Eloise lesbian/bi because it would make more sense. There’s very little representation in media for women who struggle with infertility and I’ve heard from many women whose favorite book was Francesca’s because of how they related to her struggle. Not only that, but they made her immediately develop a crush on Michaela when in the books it’s Michael who immediately falls for Francesca upon meeting her and he struggles with those feelings when before and especially after John dies. To make Francesca have feelings for Michaela completely diminishes her love for John that makes her mourning so strong. Michael also has a big internal conflict with inheriting the Kilmartin estate after John’s death. This also takes representation from women who have lost their husbands while pregnant with their child(ren). Majority of the people I know who are upset about it aren’t upset because of Francesca’s sexuality but because of how it throws away her whole story. One of my best friends is a black woman who is bi and has read all the books and before I even finished part 2 she was texting me upset because she herself has had a miscarriage and loved Francesca’s story.

colin bridgerton serie
ep seven
words count: 2.4k fem reader! x Colin Bridgerton
warning: friends to lovers trope
summary: y/n Dayton and Colin Bridgerton were friends and they swore they'd always be but it takes a great deal of bravery to love someone, more to keep loving them when it hurts the most.
English is not my first language loves, trying my best, enjoy :)
Knocks on her door distracted her from her reading.
"Come in" she mumbled, her hand resting on the page she was just reading as her mother popped her head inside.
"Am I disturbing you?", y/n softly sighed, "no, come in".
There were moments when she just needed peace, little breaths in a day full of expectations.
Reading had been her escape for as long as she could remember and people around her knew that when she had a book in hand, she was just longing for a quick escape.
Her father knew, her mother knew, along with her little brother and Colin…
Y/n’s mother gently sat close to her on the couch, her dress graciously moving with her.
She was holding a piece of paper in her hands as she looked at y/n.
"Dear.." She looked to the ground, hardly finding the words.
"Is everything alright mama?"
The woman quickly looked up into her daughter’s eyes.
"I gotta ask you dear" her expression hard "is everything alright with mr Bridgerton?"
Taken by surprise by that question, y/n didn’t fail to be sarcastic: "which one? You’ll have to be a bit more specific mama", another thing she must have taken from Colin, quick remarks.
"Y/n…"
The girl sighed loudly, "We are not so close anymore" she admitted as her mother smiled softly.
"Oh dear, you've grown attached to him, haven’t you?".
But she needed no answer as y/n looked outside the window, the faint shadow of pain coloring her face.
The woman put her hand on her daughter’s knee, reassuringly, "It isn’t something you can simply decide not to feel anymore", her eyes shooting back to y/n’s face as she continued: "the strings that bind you, they can’t be untied".
Her eyes suddenly passionate as she tighten the grip.
"Oh dear girl, I know you expect and deserve the very best; but sometimes things don’t quite follow the narrative, sometimes we have to force a chapter or write it on our own".
A breath, as she handed y/n the paper she had been hiding behind her back.
The girl’s eyes scanned the paper as she read first slowly, then in a breath:
The one we love have the power to inflict us the greatest scar.
For what thing is more fragile…than the human heart?
The bond between man and bride is private, sacred.
But I must tell you, I have learned that a grave fraud is afoot; as if the Featheringtons did not have enough to be dealing with, Mrs Marina Thompson is with child and she has been from the very first day she arrived in our fair city.
Desperate times may call for desperate measures, but I will wager many will think her actions beyond the pale.
Perhaps she thought it her only option or perhaps she knows no shame.
But I ask you, can the ends ever justify such wretched means?
-From the Chronicles of Lady Whistledown
The girl’s eyes fell off the paper, only a thought crossing her mind: "I have to go" she mumbled, "I have to go" she repeated more to herself than her mother.
And in a second she was up, quickly running for the door and to the entrance, her brother questioning her alarming behavior to their mother.
"I need a carriage, immediately, I am to be escorted to the Bridgerton’s household".
It took a ten minute ride to get to the household, but as soon as she jumped down the ride, she was already knocking on the door, a newfound need to see him, to speak to him.
Y/n had passed the last weeks changing plans, praying not to meet him or better, them, and now she was going mad trying to find that same man; life can be crazy and fate hilarious.
It was mrs Wilson who opened the door, her voice stern "the family does not accept vis-" before her eyes fell on the girl: "mrs Dayton" she breathed.
"I need to see him" y/n pleaded, which seemed to work since the woman opened the doors fully: "please come in".
Lady Bridgerton was at the entrance, walking quickly from one part of the room to the other when she spotted the visitor, feet stopping instantly.
"Dear" she muttered, her eyes kind, y/n had this strange feeling like the woman had been expecting her to come.
The girl made a small bow, impatience betraying her good manners: "where is him?" She asked.
The woman took a step forward, her hands finding y/n’s as she held them tight.
The smallest hint of compassion in her voice: "upstairs, in his room".
It took so little to get there, her heart guiding her in a desperate run, but now that she was climbing up the stairs, her eyes searching for Colin’s room: the first on the left of the corridor on the right… now she was suddenly feeling anxious and overwhelmed.
She knocked once, then twice, "I want to be alone" she heard, a voice so raspy and low she thought she had imagined it.
There was no way she was backing up now, another knock and the door opened fully: "I said-".
His eyes fixed on her, as his voice dropped lower again: "y/n?".
Colin’s eyes were red, hinting he had been crying; that austere, charmer of London had been crying.
It pained y/n.
His clothes were wrinkled and his hair not the ever so perfect styled.
It took her no time, as she flew into his arms, holding tightly.
As soon as the boy felt y/n’s body pressed to his, he gave up, arm wrapping her, his head hiding in the crook of her neck.
He closed the door and guided her to his bed as he never let go of her embrace.
"i’m so sorry" she whispered as she let go, falling to sit on his bed.
It wouldn’t have been proper for a lady to be alone with a man, let alone in his room, on his bed, but y/n couldn’t care less at the moment, nor that she ever did when she was with Colin.
Colin was sat in front of her as he held her hand tightly, his eyes those of someone who was trying his best not to cry.
"I was a fool".
"You were not a fool! you believed yourself in love, you shouldn’t apologize for that" y/n whispered back, her fingers stroking his.
The man half smiled, his eyes, even if red, were the clearest green she had ever seen.
"I missed you" his voice cracking as she hugged him again.
Y/n didn’t know how she found herself with her back against the headboard of Colin’s bed, his head on her lap as he was resting close to her, her fingers in his hair.
After crying for hours, he seemed to have fallen asleep in that position, his arms securing her legs, keeping her close.
There was something terribly intimate of being in that position with her best friend and even more heartbreaking to know she was comforting him because another girl broke his heart.
As the hours passed, the sun gave his place to the moon, darkness surrounding the room, y/n could do nothing but stroke his hair, rock him to sleep.
Her arms felt tired and her heart too; she could do nothing in the complete silence, but realize, exhausted, terrified, that she loved him.
It was clear now, why she felt like it was not the moment for her to marry, let alone to fall in love; why she refused a handful of more than acceptable proposals, how she got so angry at him for taking that fateful step.
She loved him in a way she could never love anyone else and it broke her heart.
It was midnight when she left his room, quietly jumping down the bed hoping not to wake him up.
As soon as she closed the door to her back, she wanted to do nothing but cry, endlessly, for hours.
Violet was still awake, a cup of hot tea in her hand as she portrayed the face of worry.
As soon as she spotted y/n make her way down the stairs, she softly called her name.
When the girl turned around she could not hide the tears that were framing her eyes, the pain that was dancing in them.
"Oh dear" Violet came closer to her and she hugged the girl, she held her like she knew.
It felt like Violet perceived her, understood her thoughts, shared them.
After what felt like forever, Lady Bridgerton whispered: "I wondered who would have realized it first" her arms leaving y/n’s frame as she held her shoulders tightly: "I’m sorry it had to be you", an encouraging smile "I’m sorry it had to be this way".
If y/n’s mother was right, if what really tied her to Colin was a string, If that was what love felt like, y/n never wanted to feel it again.
The last dance of the season was hosted by the new duchess of Hastings, at their house in the countryside.
Daphne was beyond excited for the upcoming ball; everything had been organized in the most detailed of ways.
The whole mansion was dressed in white and silver silk, candles framed each window and a soft, warm light enlightened the dance floor.
The events of the night prior danced in her head as y/n was waiting to be greeted by Daphne and her new husband.
By the time she succeeded to meet the two, her friend warmly smiled at her, a nod to her husband as she muttered to the unmarried to follow her.
Daphne took the girl away from the majestic view, as they made their way through the crowd.
A few feet away from the little stage were violinists and pianists were playing their songs, the two girls met a door.
It was hidden from the view; Daphne pushed rather ungracefully as she held y/n’s hand; "this way" she mumbled, making the two walk down a long corridor.
Once they reached the end, they started climbing up the noisy stairs.
When they reached the top y/n was breathless.
The terrace were the two arrived was facing the floor were couples were already dancing.
From that point of view, she could spot every and each person walking by, probably going unnoticed since the only light was coming from Daphne’s candles far away.
"What is wrong, Daphne?" Y/n finally asked, looking back at her friend.
Daphne reached towards the handrail, close to her.
"This season did not went how we have imagined, did it?" A smile on her lips as y/n chuckled: "not quite at all" y/n replied, her heart was tired, her eyes too.
"It has been a rough time, hasn’t it?", y/n just nodded.
"Oh y/n" Daphne suddenly reached for her friend’s hands: "mama told me".
Y/n’s soul felt tired too as she stared down at the ton "I’m screwed" was what left her lips.
"Why are you saying this y/n-"
"I am done Daphne, finished, this is it for me." Y/n lushed out, :"I spent all my life getting to know a man while I never realized I was falling for him", her eyes left Daphne’s face as she searched for him in the crowd of people.
"I spent all season dancing with strangers in hope to find him in them, I asked questions and refused proposals all because I was too blind to understand the reason behind it", she felt like crying "I behaved like a spoilt child, taking a grudge upon him just because he fell for someone who wasn’t me".
Her eyes went back to her friend: "this is not what I wanted to have, this is not the story I was dreaming about".
Daphne shoot forward, her hands wrapping around her figure as she held y/n tight.
"If there is a thing this season has thought me" Daphne took a breath "is that things we want don’t arrive just how we expect them".
Their eyes met, as Daphne kept on talking: "You should tell him".
The duchess held y/n’s figure tighter, "it’s Colin we’re talking about, the same boy you shared your deepest secrets with" a warm smile, "tell him".
But Daphne was wrong, because as y/n was making her way back to the party, her feet guiding her towards the refreshment table, she couldn’t help but think that it was not her Colin, not anymore.
In the mist of time, existed a moment were the two had been close, had been inseparable.
But the blur of that same time made y/n realize the one who was standing in front of her was not a kid anymore, he was not her best friend, he was not her most trusted adviser, he was a man.
A very good looking one too.
"y/n" he breathed, shifting uncomfortably in his place.
"Mr Bridgerton" the girl muttered, Colin handed her a glass of lemonade as his eyes fell to the floor.
"I must confess, I’m embarrassed" the boy mumbled, "you’ve seen me cry too, now you really have all the material for a perfect blackmail", his tone was playful, but y/n felt like being clear.
"I would never"
"I know, that’s why I felt safe enough" was Colin’s answer.
They shared some gazes, finally looking at each other’s in the eyes when:
"Colin I-"
"Y/n I should-"
Soft chuckles, "you first", y/n smiled kindly, she would have told him that night, that was it.
"After everything that has happened I realized something" Colin breathed, his tone rather disconsolate.
Y/n’s eyes were shining with a light he never saw, but nonetheless, he kept rambling:
"I’m to begin my tour, tomorrow morning, you know how much I longed to travel".
'Yes’ the girl thought, 'how we were planning to do it together'.
But she had to keep strong, her heart breaking under the weight of a one sided affection.

Y/n forced a smile "nothing important, enjoy your tour".
She placed the untouched drink back to the table as she turned around.
No, if Colin wasn’t going to return her feelings she would have buried them.
If the man she loved was not brave enough to love her back, she would have closed the book and started a new one.
All she had to do was to go get those damn scissors.
