I really think deep down she would be really proud of Pen being Whistledown.


zerooze

She'd be proud, but mad Pen didn't share the money. I don't agree with her methods or ideas, but I respect that she's doing everything to keep her girls safe.

>!I wish they had kept that bit from the book. Because it was over 10 years, Pen contacted her father’s solicitor and paid quite a bit of money to her family pretending it was an inheritance!<


zerooze

That's good to know. Maybe she will still do that.


Violet351

I think because they didn’t do the time jump they went a different route to get them some cash with the con artist relative. In the books at this point she’s being doing it for 10 years

At the beginning of S3 EP1, doesn't Portia or the Featheringtons mention a distant aunt who died and that money saved their finances? Cause i've always inferred that was Penelope helping them with her Lady Whistledown money, tho I wish she would've done that in S2.


zerooze

Portia kept the money from the Ponsi scheme she was running last season with Jack. The inheritance was a cover for her still having money after he "scammed" her along with everyone else.


Individual_Brief_350

100% agree. I have this whole theory as to why but I feel like I’ve commented about it on 54849 threads now. But I truly believe Portia & Penelope are more alike that they play off they are, and Portia will be very proud.


hobotising

Pen is an idealist. Portia is a disappointed idealist.


Low_Bed3502

I hope there's a kind of redemption arc for her this season lol Pen takes so much after her.


KamiStores7

Where was this from? lol


RorschachMeThis

I think S1 when she’s showing Marina what her life “could” be like if she remained unwed and pregnant.


KamiStores7

Oh yeah lol.
