See what I mean, chaps? Cecilia illustrates once again,
& very beautifully, that it takes one to know one.
(Although I continue to have terrible trouble with
'darling' used as a descriptive adjective. My toes
remain clenched in what feels like irreversible spasm.
No matter how I try I still can't imagine the word
ever issuing in that usage from your own Raphaelesque
lips.)
And I also can't agree with the Ramona-as-Walt's-child
hypothesis. Beneath all her droll, tough-love posture I
think Eloise actually can't stand the sight of her daughter.
She would been unable to hide something altogether
more tender & intimate with this lonely little girl -
if she had really been the last living evidence of her One
Great Love.
When she describes mother-in-law, husband & daughter
as looking - hilariously - like triplets, she leaves me in no
doubt as to the root of her bitterness.
Scottie
