Dealing with the families of Ferrars, Dashwood, and Willoughby takes time and providence. Lying, greed, disrespect, and abandonment did not appear as a thief in the night but as a generational issue. Abandoned love and secrets surface only to give fuel for retribution. Reading on the evolution of these people in the first circle gives a sweet gratification to us all. The downtrodden will be vindicated with the intervention of a special member of the tribe, the companions who care, and providence.
