Martha picked up the pillow


*****spoiler Alert *****

I wish Martha had left the pillow on the floor.

Mary was acting like a spoiled brat and threw the pillow across the room aiming at Martha. .
And She demanded Martha to pick it up but Martha told Mary to pick it up herself.
But seconds later when Mary had flung herself on the bed in a fit of tears. Martha picked up the pillow and took it to the bed and proceeded to console Mary.

I wish Martha had left the pillow on the floor so as not to have given in to the bratty Mary.
And then later perhaps we could see Mary more humble and complacent and picking up the pillow herself.

Just my observation.

I love Martha's character though. I suppose she was trying not to be too hard on the girl on her first day. And she just laughed at Mary's other "orders"

Wonderful film. Great acting.
