Robert is coming to visit this next fortnight. The big news is that his mother, Mrs. Maggie McLeod-Ross, has left her husband and will live with Nell in Sudbury until she decides what she will do next. The gossip in the town is that she left Thomas B Ross because he was carrying on with another woman. But I have also heard from Miss Henry at the store that Mrs Ross was being courted by Mr Mckenzie. He is a Chief Factor of the Hudson’s Bay Company so quite a step up from a trader’s wife for her.
Nell is very loyal to her friend and says nothing about the situation. Mrs. Ross and the younger children will be here in a few days. I imagine we will see a good deal of Robert when his mother is here. I am not sure how I feel about that. I think I am glad.
