善意的，他们都对她很好。桑顿夫人一直告诉她要把草地当作她的家，她甚至把二楼楼梯平台尽头的小包厢变成了她的卧室。桑顿夫人坚持要在那里保留几件衣服，当她十一月份拜访格温时，她把衣服留下了
(meant well, and they had all been very good to her. Mrs Thornton was forever telling her to consider The Meadow her home, and she had even turned the little box room at the end of the second-floor landing into a bedroom for her. Mrs Thornton had insisted she keep a few clothes there, and when she had visited Gwen in November she had left behind)
在芭芭拉·泰勒·布拉德福德的《意志行动》中，主人公反思了她与周围人，尤其是桑顿夫人的积极关系。桑顿夫人一直很支持她，敦促她把 The Meadow 视为她的家。这种温暖显而易见，桑顿夫人主动将一个小房间改造成她舒适的卧室，确保她感到受欢迎和受到照顾。此外，桑顿夫人的善良是无法用言语来表达的。她鼓励她在 The Meadow 留下一些物品，以增强归属感。在她去年 11 月拜访格温期间，这种脱掉衣服的行为象征着与她的福祉之间更深层次的联系和承诺。总的来说，桑顿夫人的这些举动凸显了主人公所感激的养育氛围。
