"Well people think you look like me," I
responded.

“Can I play with the dolls now please Nan?” Caroline asked gently. “Yes with pleasure” nan replied. Caroline sat still for five minutes a little bit closer to our group playing cards and then gingerly said “where is it Nan?” As she clutched the one doll she’d been allowed to play with. “Where’s what?” Nan asked sighing like she'd been stopped mid way to picking up fifty pounds. “The pleasure?” Caroline replied innocently unaware of what it was she was saying.
This story was retold by Nan many times when someone asked about Caroline to point out how unwell mentally she was and why she was under whichever punishment nan had designated for her at the time. Caroline had no mental problems. She had a stutter because she had been scared so much as a child. Unfortunately the story sums up how nan was with girls perfectly. There was no pleasure.”

“Does he know? Or are you torturing the poor man?”
“Torturing him?” Gwendolen said with genuine surprise.
“Torturing him into thinking he is the only one in love!”
“Oh.” Gwendolen sighed. “He is not in love with me.” She was not sure what he was. “At least, he has not said so.”
“You sound quite sorry about that. Almost as if you cared.”
