chapters 11-20 "Hope Never Dies"

so it is good it is very good that Hilda recovered for the sake of Ellen, and that it is kind of nice that Gertie is taking good care of Ellen 'even though I hate her and I disapprove of her abnormal feelings toward Hilda' that really bugs me in a matter of fact. and I realized that being so commendable does really pay of in the end by how the people in the village are so heartwarming towards Hilda.
Gertie is caring too much for her now, and it is irritating how Gertie is being too PATHETIC. but thank God that Hilda finally got the reply that she was looking forward to getting from Mabel and now she is going she is finally moving to London. and by that act I don't say it is selfish as Gertie suppose it is but it is instead better for Ellen to go to school and have friends her age and get good education and maybe get a bit religious. I predict they will enjoy life there with Socksss : )
okay so good thing that Ellen is going to church, but it is so sad that Hilda lost the baby and that also she kind of lost hope in God unlike her daughter right now who is happy with going to chruch.
I have never seen such hatred from a mother to a son as I have seen how Mable treats Billy. He is the only person that I feel so sad for..
I also loath how Ellen is so IGNORANT AND NAIVE for a girl of her age and why her mother won't tell her the generals of life and that she has to hide it from her or simplisize it.
eeewww no no Gertie is back to visit, is she mentally illlllll ?

it is all so fast for Hilda that now at this horrible time she is losing so many beloved ones, and even Ellen is devastated , this is all resulting in having Ellen to grow weaker yet to lose faith in God. yet now we all knew that Doug is still alive.
at last, I think living on a bit of hope may be sometimes good but mostly it results in disappointed and chattered souls... but yet again may be not in 'this' case.
