Question D

[Jonetta]

West Ravenel decides to accompany Devon to Eversby Priory and seems to thrive as he tackles the estate report. Why the remarkable change?

[Anita]

Having a purpose and feeling needed can do wonders for a dissolute rake.

[Robin]

I loved this part of the story. As Anita said, West had something to do and was ready to dive in and help his brother.

[Sharon]

I agree with both of you. West found a purpose. He could relate to the farmers' struggles their frustrations and wanted to help them. Also, he didn't want his brother to fail.

[Jonetta]

West had only lived in London and that environment obviously didn’t suit him. Unfortunately, he didn’t have a vision or means to do anything other than party. He was a smart guy forced to fit into a rather rudderless lifestyle.

When he went to Eversby Prior, West knew he had the skills to figure out the issues and pursue solutions. Everything fit him like a glove. I loved what happened to him as he found a purpose.

[Karen ♐]

I really loved how West found something that really interested him. I agree with all of you. This was a great part of the story.

[Christina T]

I agree with everything already said. West needed something to do. Something to pull him out of the rut his life has been in. His change was remarkable and I really enjoyed witnessing it.
