My mother cannot behave herself properly in public. To which I mean, she has acted with such outrageous impropriety that it will nearly keep my eldest sister from marrying the man she loves. Worse, she encourages my younger siblings to behave with no concern for decorum, which will lead in part to my youngest sister, Lydia, running away with a man who does not care for her, and will ruin her before attempting to toss her aside. Which is not only devastating for Lydia but also such a black mark socially that none of us can show our faces again, not until he is forced to marry her and we can pretend it was an elopement.
