through clean.
Joan also had something else.

Tho relations between Margaret
and Joan at this time were peculiar
to hemselves--perhaps in a way un-
like customary relationship existing
between mother and daughter.
Margaret loved Joan intensely.
But added to that mother love was
the feeling of responsibility for her
unique bringing un; the intense fol-
lowing of JOan's mental processes;
I the teacher-like attitude--camou-
flaged.
Joan too loved her mother devot-
edly. Yet she had adopted an air
of criticism. OF superiority because
