Brent reveal to Vera? How does Vera feel toward Emily Brent after
hearing this story?
ch 7&8
Chapter 7:
Section I:
-Emily Brent tells Vera about Beatrice.
Beatrice worked for Emily Brent. She thought she was a nice
girl, but was very upset to find out that she wasn't. Brent says,
"She was a loose girl, with no morals. Disgusting! It was some time
before I found out that she was what they call 'in trouble,'"(100).
This means Beatrice was pregnant. She was not married, so Brent
felt that she was a sinner. Her parents turned her away and so did
Emily Brent. As a result, Beatrice drowned herself.
Vera is horrified by Emily Brent's story. She thinks she is a terrible
person.
In your opinion, is Emily Brent guilty of killing Beatrice Taylor? Why
or why not?

Armstrong begins to see Macarthur as a mad man. Clearly unstable. But
then he sees Lombard.
-"Climbs like a cat, doesn't he?" and "I should think he must have
done some mountaineering in his time." (119)
