He wrote a *goddamn nunnery* for help? which would seem to imply that: A) He can't locate a professional or even a local girl willing to take the job despite his vast sums of money. B) and/or He wants someone virginal and inexperienced living in his house.

I'm sure there's an explanation for why all this was perfectly reasonable in the Real Life events, I'm just amused that the fictional version hits so differently as an adult than when I was a child.

And I've said it before, but the biggest difference between Child Ana and Adult Ana is that as a child I thought Rolfe was a tragedy and as an adult I want Liesl to shoot him in the face with a sawed off shotgun. Or something equally action-y, I'm not picky.

How do you solve a problem like Maria? You marry her off so she's no longer your problem. Ugh.

That said, actively pressuring her to marry a much-older man with a dozen children, some of whom are nearly as old as this fresh-faced novice ... not such a great idea, even if it worked out this time.

The real Maria apparently said she was inwardly furious at God on her wedding day because she'd come to accept the marriage was God's will but still didn't like it
