"Mrs. Nelson is still the same as back then, stern and rigid, without a trace of kindness."
"It's more than the same as back then; she's even more severe. When she was young, she liked to make things difficult for the younger generation. I heard all the daughters-in-law of the Nelson family were disciplined into compliance by her. Now that she's older, her demeanor is even more imposing."
"Who can blame Mrs. Nelson, born into such a family? I heard the rules in her family were heavy, valuing adherence to tradition. People from their era were much more meticulous than we are now, and any slight misstep would lead to punishment. The Wallace family thought they were soaring high by marrying their daughter to the Nelson family, but they probably didn't expect that Miss Wallace would be tormented by Mrs. Nelson in this way."
