"I would like to offer this freedom to others.
Like Flo, for instance.
I've known her all my life, though we haven't seen much of each other since we were children.
She was made fun of by the boys because she was too good at what they liked to think themselves good at and by the girls because she had too many of the qualities arbitrarily assigned to boys. She's very intelligent, and rather grim now when she was always serious.
There's no frivolity to her; she thinks that an unconscionable allowance in a world such as ours. She's a very good nurse, but she would have been a better doctor. She can diagnose instinctively, intuitively, however you wish to describe it. She looks at people and into them and she sees what's amiss in them.
