when beryl had decided to stay on at el campo , it wasnt all to do with her new found freedom , teddy was a bombastic pig - out of earshot of other people of course , and she should have left him years ago , but he intimidated her , and she also literally had nowhere else to go , so she just put up with it - life in a gilded cage - and all that , so for giving her her freedom , it was the second strike against me the first one was for sacking him in the first place - for absolutely no reason .
