“She’s seen what love can do. She has seen friends in the same
world fall for people who say, ‘I’ll change your life. And no this
isn’t just sex, this is love.’ And she has seen them destroyed by
that. Also her complicated relationship with her family means she
doesn’t want to ever have to rely on anyone else other than
herself. Because she’s happy to be angry at herself. The idea of
being vulnerable to someone else, she can’t be dealing with
that. It’s a purposeful cut off she did initially in order to survive
doing what she does. Charlotte thinks if you take love out of
the equation you can’t get hurt.” – Jessica Brown Findlay

Harlots Appreciation Week 2018 | Day 4: Favorite Episode  2.07

🎶 How I laughed like a lord when my friend said beware, 🎶
🎶 Of the flush in her cheek, and the flower in her hair. 🎶
🎶 But I’m not laughing now, for my friends warned me well. 🎶
🎶 Though she promised me Heaven, she sent me to Hell. 🎶
🎶 I’m no more a sinner than any man here, 🎶
🎶 I’m no less a saint than the priest at God’s ear. 🎶
🎶 But now I am snared, they will punish me well 🎶
🎶 With a ladder to Heaven and a rope down to Hell. 🎶
🎶 Will there no mercy be for a boy led adrift 🎶
🎶 By the feel of warm lips or the flash of a shift. 🎶
🎶 But if he who passed judgment knows nothing of lust, 🎶
🎶 Then he who’d pass judgment’s no man I would trust. 🎶
