She portrayed Jews as better to their loved ones than Christians, despite her romantic disaster that proved a contrary example. As for the wise butler character, in that book, "

I just cheked, and my local library system has 21 of 22 copies spoken for -- either out, or being transferred to someone who wants it at another branch. I hope, and expect, they will now send worn copies out for rebinding.
