why trash on Miss Lora?
I have repeatedly read many comments on this board, and I have a question? Why does everyone continously attack Miss Lora?
I get the feeling that these posters think that Miss Lora owes Annie and that they consider Miss Lora a racist because she kept Annie on as her maid. Whats the problem with that. When they first met on the beach, wasnt it Miss Lora who let Annie and her daughter, Sarah Jane stay there with them, FOR FREE
Miss Lora didnt expect anything from Annie, but Annie was the one who insisted on staying as her maid.........Miss Lora never asked her to stay......
Annie was the one who came up with the idea and Miss Lora then agreed to keep her on as her maid.......it was an Employer / Employee relatioship, period
Annie did not run in Miss Loras circle of friends, so that makes Miss Lora a racist? Seems to me, as a maid, Annie was paid highly, she even had Annie and Sarah Jane live there in her house. Annie made good money, she even said she had money put away of Sarah Jane and her funeral........Annie had minks, she even told the Reverand that her furs were real on her death bed.
Shese, you people need to realize that it wasnt a friendship that they started. It was an employee/employer relationship. Miss Lora owed Annie , nothing but her pay for her work
People love to play the race card, but it doesnt apply here....Annie cried for Miss Lora in the end, and Miss Lora was devastated in losing Annie, but again, Miss Lora had her own circle of friends, and they didnt include Annie or her circle of friends......
I think Miss Lora was a good employer and treated everyone the same in her house...Even Sarah Jane agreed when Miss Lora talked to her after she did that ' totin the crawdads for Miss Lora and her friends" routine in the living room
No, Miss Lora owed nothing to any of them, but in the end, it was apparant that she did hold Annie and Sarah Jane close in her heart....Sarah Jane was the tramp who left her poor momma alone, desertedd.......Miss Lora didnt desert Annie, Sarah Jane did............that is why she felt so guilty at the funeral......
