- We could imply that they have a good relationship since the mother fulfills her duties for her children and it is evident on the Waverly's line "I didn't think we were poor. My bowl was always full, three five-course meals every day, " Also, that they have a normal relationship like on the part where the mother said "Bite back your tongue" but on the other week that Waverly did so, her mother "... quietly plucked a small bag of plums..." which we could assume are for Waverly.
