The Mulligan family has been mostly immune to the excesses of the 1920s having no teenagers or young adults at this time. Instead Patrick continues to stoically work his way up the military ladder while Aileen remains home being a good wife and mother and hiding away her artistic dreams. The twins' different interests are becoming very clear. Michael is clever and capable and a perfect candidate for a soldier once he comes of age. Mary is chatty and artistic. #strangervillelegacy
