Just as the title title says, what happens if the girls don't get their period? We know they move from Plum to Green when they get it, but what if they don't? Will they still get a chance to be a Wife, but just have a Handmaid? Will they become their own kind of class of women we have not seen yet?

The Plums are educated in womanly affairs of Republic of Gilead. I would think they would view it as shameful to see a woman go through all of the schooling just to be tossed aside.

Lady Mary and Anna had a bond like no other. I think Anna would have been one of the last Lady Mary would cut, even if it became unrealistic to keep her on.

That being said, when did ladies maids stop being a job? Lady Edith doesn't have one, even though she out ranks Lady Mary. I'm an American, so I tried Google. However, I think American Google doesn't understand my question, because I keep finding things about ladies-in-waiting and how that is often an unpaid positions.
