Yeah. I mean, chances are, knowing how we Irish do it, he's just an alcoholic and he just kind of like can't be in the real world.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's an assumption on my part. I don't know what Peg's father was really doing. Allegedly, allegedly. Allegedly, allegedly, alcoholism is a disease. Okay. After her sister's death, Peg gets the worst beating of her life. She's whipped so badly, she vomits blood and loses consciousness. It takes three months of bedridden recovery. But she survives.

And once she does, she decides she's getting away from her abusive brother once and for all. Yeah. She convinces her father, who, as we just said, is still letting Christopher run the household. But she does convince her father to give her enough money to pay for a carriage ride back to Dublin.

And when she gets to Dublin, she moves back in with her married sister and she slowly regains her health and her confidence and her enthusiasm for life. She's still traumatized and in a fragile state, so when her brother-in-law introduces her to his friend, who she, in her memoirs, identifies as a Mr. Dardis, Peg is easily swept up in his kindness.

He sympathizes with all the hardships she's been through, and of course that makes her swoon, and the two begin a romance. Mm-hmm. What do you think is going to happen next? I'm good. Peg makes a very risky 18th century decision. She decides to have sex with Mr. Dardis. Before marriage? Yep. But she's sure he's going to marry her. So she isn't concerned about ruining her reputation.

So she isn't concerned about ruining her reputation.

She's basically been led along to believe this is like Both of them are in this together. So she does. And then she discovers she's pregnant. And when she tells him, she now knows, now we have to get married. But suddenly Mr. Dardis has cold feet. When she tells him he's ruined her reputation, he agrees to put her up in a brothel so she can deliver the baby in secret. Oh, my God. So she agrees.

She continues to see him. He comes to the brothel to see her. But of course, she's like holed up there. She can't leave. So she's very unhappy there and very anxious. And she's isolated from her family and friends. So now Peg's sister starts to wonder where she is. And then the word gets out that Peg had Dardis's baby. So before Peg gets a chance to explain everything, her sister disowns her.

Oh, come on.

Oh, come on.

Because it's all about reputation in the 1700s. This is like just bad fucking bad cloud. It's bad vibes. Bad vibes, bad cloud. So not only is Peg's sister disgusted by the fact that Peg had sex out of wedlock, which so did Mr. Dardis.

And she was a teenager. So she kind of didn't know. Like she was like, this is romantic love. Totally. But her sister's also horrified. Peg lived in a brothel during her pregnancy. So Peg tries to go visit her sister to hash things out and beg her for her forgiveness. But her sister calls her a, quote, vile wretch and slams the door in her face.
