Poor Edith!  I didn't see this storyline coming at all!  Why didn't Sir Anthony talk to Edith about having doubts before she got to the altar?  That was cruel and harsh to jilt her! Also Edith doesn't care that Anthony is older and disabled, she loves him!  I hope Edith finds a lovely and handsome man who will sweep her off her feet and love her forever! xx
