Flora At the Gazebo
Seriously, I just wanted to smack the ghost out of her with her carrying on like that. Had I used that language at my mom, I'd been knocked into the middle of next week.
shareWell, Miss Giddens wasn't her mom. She was the hired governess. If you slap someone at work, I'm sure you'd be fired.
shareWell since the film was set in the late 1890s/ early 1900s a governess could slap the bejesus out of her charges and no one would bat an eyelash.
Corporal punishment was extremely commonplace in those days.
And especially since she had been given complete control over the children. The uncle the childrens legal guardian wanted nothing to do with them.
