Oh my God, Martha's father is completely psycho! How could he do that to his own daughter? He should go to jail and never come out again!

At least Martha refused to say that she didn't love Jack and Jack took care of her when she needed it

What is "Cat of nine tails"? Is that a cat with nine tails?

More please!

Martha's father is crazy! How could he hurt like that?

Martha loves Jack.

Jack's family seems nice. Apparently, they like Martha because they are helping her. They're not yelling at her. Wonder why Martha's dad is so furious with the Holdens.

What is "Cat of nine tails"? Is that a cat with nine tails?

After reading ther first part of that chapter, I think it's a whip. But I'm not sure. That's the problem when English isn't your mother tongue.

More please.

You're probably right. I was just thinking that it could be a cat with nine tails, and then you grabbed the cat by the neck and used it as a whip

Great chapter!!!

Yeh I'm pretty sure a cat of nine tails is a whip...Poor Martha

ok i noticed there was alot of talk abut the 'cat of nine tails' and what it is so i dug up some information for you guys to read to help you understand a bit more about it

The cat o' nine tails is a type of multi-tailed whipping device that originated as an implement for severe physical punishment, notably in the British Royal Navy.

The word is recorded in English since 1695, and it was probably so called in reference to its "claws" which inflict parallel wounds.

The instrument traditionally has nine thongs as a result of the manner in which rope is braided. Thinner rope is made from three strands of yarn braided together, and thicker rope from three strands of thinner rope braided together. To make a cat o' nine tails, a rope is simply unraveled into three small ropes, and each of those next unraveled, again in three. A rationalisation (plausibly conceived post factum) for the number nine is that nine is thrice three, a Trinity of Trinities, fitting the concept of the wrongdoer going against the God of the Anglican or Catholic Church and hence against the Holy Father which, theocratically, thus puts the wrongdoer back on the path toward righteousness. It is also said that sailors had a holy cross tatooed on their backs to prevent it from 'unreligiously' being flogged, but there is no evidence for naval authorities awarding such exemption.

In Trinidad and Tobago the "Cat" is made up of nine knotted thongs of cotton cord about 2½ feet or 76 cm long designed to lacerate the skin and cause intense pain.

and here is a picture of what a 'cat of nine tails' looks like
