Undine is cray cray. She got everything she wanted and she still isn't happy.
Edith Wharton is brilliant and exposes the follies and ironies of upper society.
I'm honestly glad her and Moffat got together at the end. I ship them. BUT I FEEL SO BAD FOR RALPH. I LOVED HIM. AND POOR PAUL. Miss girl over here dragged everyone into her mess and made everyone's lives harder. Gurl had three (technically four and one broken engagement) marriages and is still doing good for herself. Honestly, good for her. But I still hate her.
