She was just married back then, but he was already bedridden. Worried she might be scoffed at, he called everyone to his bed to say that everyone had to live in the residence and help each other no matter what. Those people were greater actors

Now, she wasn’t a part of them, but John was. Since John now had to come to live outside because of her, Sophia thought Matilda should know the consequences of angering
