Question

Wife of john a pascud?

Answer 1

Being a non-believer in fairy-tale love stories, John turns out to be the most unexpected man to have followed a girl for a long distance. He manages to even talk to her father and convinces him and gets married to Jessie. The fact that John gets down at Coketown, especially to look for the petunias that his wife had liked when they last came here, tells us that he really loved his wife.
