The large Bluen family house was usually occupied by Scarlett Taylor alone.
Unlike Mila Anderson, who was always out and about playing cards, Scarlett, although she did play cards occasionally, preferred to stay at home. She liked to read, tend to her flowers and plants, and wait for her husband and children to come home.
Sometimes, she would feel stifled and bored. Perhaps as a traditional woman, she also felt that a wife should stay at home, ready to care for her husband and children. So even if she felt bored, she managed it better than Mila Anderson could.
