Either way, to me this was a case of them believing that the Colonel had a history as an adult but the girls not believing that Mrs. Bentley could have been a child. Believing that an adult could have done things is one thing, believing that an adult used to be a child was just too much.
That's persuasive. I was fixated on the gender issue and didn't pay attention to the age issue.
