- #1Who said, "Then take her to the poorhouse: she'll have to go there?" Why did Joe Thompson go to Maggie's hovel again?Ans : The above words are said by the blacksmith's wife who was hastening off with the rest of the villagers after the burial of the children's mother. John was immediately taken away by farmer Jones and Mrs Ellis took away Kate. Maggie was almost alone in the hovel. Blacksmith's wife replied this to Mr Joe Thompson's when he called it a cruel thing to leave Maggie like that. She also left the place hurriedly leaving Joe behind. He was puzzled for a while and then went inside again to have a look on her and perhaps with a decision in his mind.
