Question

Why did Mrs Thompson look at her husband strangely

Answer 1

Answer:

Mrs. Thompson looked at his husband because she thought that he may take up Maggie's responsibility for all his life. She was perplexed at the thought of her husband taking up the responsibility of Maggie because she was a poor, sick child without her mother.

Moreover, the Thompson's didn't have a child of their own and Joe had a soft heart towards Maggie that Mr. Thompson could perhaps feel about. Due to all these reasons, she may have felt a bit apprehensive about her husband's intentions of keeping Maggie with them.
