Elle asked this question about The Penderwicks at Last (The Penderwicks, #5):
will someone please explain to me why everyone is talking so much about skeffery in this book? if she turned him down last time why should she say yes now? and, she is at collage in calafornia.
Jo I'd be really surprised if this was about Skye and Jeffery marrying each other at Arundel.

a) There wasn't even a seed of hope planted for those two being a couple at the end of the book - it would be a big "out of nowhere" story line to me. More sense for Tommy/Rosalind getting married.
b) Arundel would surely be the last place Jeffery would want to get married! His relationship with his mother and stepfather is terrible, they HATE the penderwicks, and he'd want his dad there, so why on earth would he pick there of all places??!?!
I agree with you totally - I don't understand the Skeffery thing at all - it would be a massive departure from everything JB has set up in the previous four books.(less)
