Now that you mention it, considering some of Sidney's behaviors, I guess it IS surprising that he wasn't fired, or AT LEAST ostracized by some of his parishioners, especially since Grantchester's a small town. Yet he was beloved by the otherwise judgemental and censorious Mrs. C. Go figure.

Unless he was with Amanda, Mrs. C did not like Amanda.

I like Mrs. C. She's got spirit!

Btw, brat, how did you like Mrs. C's role in Hobbs' downfall?

I wasn't too fond of it. As I said before I wanted Cathy to handle it herself, although that wasn't a reality back then. But I thought that Mrs. C's role was a bit hypocritical. She didn't want to take advantage of Chapman's wealth but she used it to get Hobbs fired. Don't get me wrong, I hated Hobbs for taking advantage of the women workers just because he could! I'm a boomer (born in the early 50's) & can relate to Cathy's problem. But my sister's mother taught me to be strong & stand up to 'injustice'. I worked in many bars & restaurants in my early working days & was what people called 'sexually harassed', but I always told them that I wasn't interested & to stop what they were doing. Most men will stop when you stand up & say no! But of course, there are always the exceptions.

Yikes: I just realized I didn't respond to your post (above), brat.

Thanks for your recollections and good comments.

I wonder where the story may go from where things left off, and if Hobbs will turn back up in some sort of nasty capacity, either dead (and Cathy a suspect, such as merry interestingly suggested), or perhaps out for revenge against Cathy and/or Mrs. C.
