3827. On the other
hand my first supposition is more likely the correct one, it being that in her
heart she agreed with Freda but could not say such things herself without
getting embroiled is such impossible contradictions as to bring on some nervous
disorder.
3828. Writers of
stories are always trying to offer some explanation for the behavior of the
characters they have created. Some writers will offer one explanation, and a
more sophisticated writer might offer two, or even three. The truth however is
simply this; no explanation of any action is complete and all the contradictory
explanations are correct in their own way.
3829. Harriet was
anxious that her dinner party in honor of her birthday should predominately feature
a discussion of art and culture. She was prepared to listen to Freda talk
about the plight of domestic servants and tutors, and she knew that Clara would
invariably shift any conversation in the direction of the church and its
mission in the modern world.
3830. She
was prepared to listen to those ideas but she had made up her mind to steer the
conversation back to her chosen theme at the earliest opportunity. In order to
set her dinner off on the right foot she placed her new marble sculpture just
to the left of the entrance to the room. You might remember the room with the high
ceiling, yellow wallpaper and maroon drapes.
