When reading Cheryl's post below about the similarities (or differences) between Laura and Catherine Moreland, I couldn't help but to realize that I really did not take Laura seriously, esp. in regards to her descriptions of herself. She thought herself superiour in every way, but obviously those who appear to be more 'sensible' in the story think otherwise. She very well may have had the same characteristics of CM, except for one thing. CM had good morals and moderately good training in being sensible. Laura, well, obviously not!
