Handmaid's Tale

Where I am reading now, Offred is recounting more stories of her past. She speaks of Moira, an old friend who underwent the same fate as she. However, when Offred was with Moira they were under the command of someone called Aunt Lydia. Moira was more rebellious and much more anxious and determined to escape their prison. Because talking and mingling was suspicious, the two friends would have to sneak in the bathroom and speak, but only for minutes. Moira then decided to fake ill by not taking her vitamins and developing Scurvy, she was found out and punished. It is not yet clear, but it sounds as though at some point Moira did leave. Offred remembers her but does not know of her whereabouts or even if she is still alive. - Beatrice de Vaulx
