Agreed. But I wasn't even thinking of what George would have said/done. He actually didn't even figure in to my thinking! LOL. This is Ruth's decision alone -- she has to decide what she wants. This is one of those times when being selfish is required -- what do I want for myself, regardless of what anyone else wants. What is it that will make me happy? That's the only thing that really matters in this situation, imo.

I also think that, after Ruth left, Harry probably did some covert checking up on her. Once he was assured that she was safe, well hidden and out of any immediate danger, he buries that knowledge way in the back of his mind and gets on with his work.

He would know how and have the resources available, if he loved her as we have been led to believe he did, at that time. If he did find her and let her be, and then told Ruth now about it, I have a feeling she would not be happy.

I'm not sure about this. Trying to contact her could only have put her in danger -- neither of them would have wanted that. And remember, she told him "Let me go, Harry."
