[LMB] An Inquiring Mind Wants to Know...

[CatMtn at aol.com]

What this inquiring mind wants to know, with _Beguilement_ as the subject,  
not _Passage_, is why Fawn's mother and aunt didn't warn her about Sunny?   
Sure, Fawn was young--but if she'd known that Sunny's marriage to Violet was  
arranged and had been for years, she'd probably have made a different choice at  
that wedding party.  Apparently both Trill and Nattie knew about  Sunny and 
Violet.  Trill suspected that Fawn was interested in him, and  Nattie knew that 
they'd been meeting--her comment that Sunny had always thought  that since she 
couldn't see him, she couldn't hear him, either, showed  that.  So--why 
didn't either of them tell her what Sunny's situation  was?  Did they think she was 
so irresponsible that knowing he already  had his life mapped out and it 
didn't include Fawn wouldn't have made any  difference to her?  Or did they think 
she was too young to be serious about  a male at 18?  It seems to me that they 
shirked their duty to her,  there.  It might be argued that they assumed she 
wouldn't have gone so far  as to have s*x, but even if she hadn't, she'd have 
been badly hurt, and her  family didn't seem to be doing anything in the way 
of damage control.
