Clara understands that Archie is simply not capable of romance.Love seems like a pretty high price to us, but Clara seems cool with her decisions for the moment.Clara does not love Archie, but she decided to devote herself to him when she met him on the steps as long as he could take her away. She looks the place over and thinks that it's pretty good considering she hasn't even paid a high price for it.It's nice, but not as nice as Clara had hoped.

So she marries him and begs him to take her as far away from Lambeth as possible. Clara eventually decides that it is better to marry Archie than to live in sin by sleeping with him and not marrying him.She's not as concerned about the religion bit. Hortense, Clara's mother, is very strongly opposed to the whole relationship on the grounds of his skin color, actually. ![]() Clara finds herself debating whether or not she should marry Archie Jones. ![]()
