Poor Elizabeth is about to go out for some air when Jason accosts her and asks her to come into the living room and sit down (in her own house). He’s so full of plans for the wedding that he scarcely notices her utter lack of interest as he lists his requirements.
Mrs. Johnson runs into Elizabeth on Widows' Hill. Mrs. J must have known the story of the three widows since her childhood, but Elizabeth thoughtfully lets us in on it. Superb JB moment! Mrs. J later tells Vicki about it, but why doesn't she tell Elizabeth's daughter or brother?
The scene of Jason giving the ring to Elizabeth was truly revolting. Poor Vicki, a stand-in for us, turns away in shame and disgust.
