Yes, Shivani does work for the Rowles, but she's never said anything about any unpleasantness between Mr and Mrs Rowles.
I mean, she's not very happy working for them, but I think it's more to do with how much they expect her to do (nearly everything to do with the children--they don't seem very interested in being parents).
And Mr Rowle is, well, he's a bit harsh. With everyone. But surely Mrs Rowle knew that when she fell in love with him. Or maybe she didn't. Fall in love, I mean. I suppose there are lots of reasons she might have married him that have little to do with love.
It's just that one does hope to find someone suitable and lovable, too. I suppose it's not always possible, though, and it's true that men (more than boys even) can be disappointing. That's why I said you shouldn't risk the things you care about--your marks, your connections, your family's approval, and your reputation--on boys while you're still in school.
I'm sorry, though, if you've had a disappointment in that area.
