Wow, those letters! That is amazing. (And it's really interesting to see a F/F relationship in this time period with textual support, demonstrably not platonic romantic friendship.)
This makes me awfully sad for everyone involved. Maybe not so much Joseph if he never realized it (which if Isabella is writing that "they don't notice we don't want to have sex with them," maybe he didn't??) -- but I don't know, maybe it makes it even sadder -- and then his second marriage :(
And I guess at least Isabella and MC found love. For a short while :(
It seems like rather a relief that at least MC was able to marry for love later on :( Way to be a hypocrite, MT!
