Hobson doesnt like the way the girls dress:he wants them to wear what he finds suitable.Vickey quotes
"Do you want us to dress as mill girls?"
Hobson replies "no nor like French madams neither, it's un-English i say"
Alice stansd up to Hobson by saying "we shall continue to dress fashionably father".
Hobson doesnt like it so he blurts out that he will choose Alice and Vickey's their husbands.He calls Alice uppish.Alice wants to know why they can't choose their husbands themselves.Maggie butts in wondering why he is only talking about Alice and Vickey not her.Hobson replies to maggie by saying "well that's a good one you with a husband"he makes a laugh and joke about it. Maggie doesn't know why her father is being this way.
Hobson thinks Maggie is too old to get married.He really means that she is too useful to him and doesn't want to get rid of her.Maggie is only thirty years of age.He will be lost without her.
He is then told when to be home for dinner again bur replies with
"i will be home not because i have to it is because i want to"

If he doesn't turn up they will not give him any at all.Maggie is still rather strong compared to the other characters,she doesn't like anyone getting the better of her.

Maggie is in love at the end but not at the start.Brighouse shows Maggie as very independant women as she doesn't like to be over ruled.They are all scared of her and do as they are asked.
