My friend is going bankrupt?
I am a woman in my mid-40’s and my husband had struck gold so were rich. I went touring with the Astors in Egypt but I went on a ship with them to return to America from Europe. Well, on the ship I met a woman called Ruth with a daughter named Rose, and I tried befriending her, but she kept on calling me "new money" behind my back. Well, her daughter was engaged to a man but she didn’t seem to like him much, but in the end the ship hit an iceberg and sank. As we were getting into the lifeboats, Ruth’s daughter ran off, even with Ruth calling after her. I later learned upon the shipnthat saved the survivors that Ruth had forced her daughter into the engagement because they were about to lose all their money, spand Ruth was crying so hard so I sympathised for her. How can I help this poor, poor woman who is about to lose her entire Philidelphian fortune to the debt collectors and who is already grieving the loss of her daughter and is feeling very guilty about it?
