Clay is easily molded into any shape desired... Written by Elbè (10/12/2008 7:00 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, What hidden meaning? Pray tell... I don't get it. Thanks. NFM, penned by JanELT

I agree with Mandy N, Mrs Clay manipulates Elizabeth, but I think also it could mean that Mrs Clay herself 'can be anyone others want her to be', take on the form to suit the situation in a way that would benifit her most. Mrs Clay is a little shape-shifter.
