I'm not queer in the least, but I'm a fat girl, and can I tell you, fat girls aren't allowed to feel feelings about anyone, because it is hilarious and gross that a fat girl in middle school or high school might feel love. I feel this article.

I didn't know that Andy Hallett had died, or how young he was (green make-up will do that). How sad. He was delightful.

No, Mary got the shaft, even in the epilogue, where Kitty goes to live with her sisters and improve herself and Mary has to stay home with her horrid mother. If Mary had been a modern woman, she would have gone to a women's college on scholarship, gotten all of her pretentious epigrams out of her system and ended up a professor at a small liberal arts college.

Away from her mother's nerves and her father's dismissive disapproval she could have read and played piano and debated theology and been very happy.
