this book is just so painfully queer, and so painfully lonely.

every time they use "gay" to mean "cheerful" i can't help but laugh (they [eleanor and theodora] are indeed very gay)

"Unexpectedly— although it was later to become a familiar note, a recognizable attribute of what was to mean “Theodora” in Eleanor’s mind— Theodora caught at Eleanor’s thought, and answered her. “Don’t be so afraid all the time,” she said and reached out to touch Eleanor’s cheek with one finger. “We never know where our courage is coming from.” " LESBIANS!!!
