But Karen was THERE when Rowan came in, terribly upset, the day Mr Tranter had his stroke. I mean, it is so obvious in that scene how hard it's hitting her from various angles. Bt Karen, of course, is all wrapped up in her own little drama (considerably less interesting or important than the near-death of, well, ANYONE, much less an integral member of the farm staff who would leave behind a frightened wife as well as an overwhelmed Rowan).

And I mean. It just seems so un-English to be willing to trample all over such a delicate situation like that. I know living at Trennels itself is hellish, but Karen really SHOULD have thought of that before she saddled them all with each other. Riding roughshod over a grieving widow (practically) and demanding a house that even in the ABSENCE of the Tranters is not actually rightfully hers....it's digustingly entitled and inconsiderate. I hate people who act like this.
