After a visit to Texas, she is afraid of being exposed
as the author of "Carol. " Her mother has told the family
preacher about the secret book. She writes a letter
to her stepfather: I never presented that
book to my mother. She found it, because I lent
you and her my flat. Would it not occur to any idiot that if a person writes a book
under another name, that person wishes to keep the
fact secret from the public? But oh, no. Not my mother. (insects chirring) I often wonder, what my mother
thinks is so wrong with me. I have not been in prison, I do not take drugs, I have no broken marriages, no illegitimate children, I earn a good living. I am even in Who's Who, the international,
