“Another mystifying feature of this family is the marked conspiratorial tone and manner they adopt with each other and with us in Sarah's absence ...
On one occasion, when Sarah left the room, her mother, father, and brother began a furtive whispered exchange about her. As Sarah re-entered she said uncertainly that she had the impression that they were talking about her. They denied this and looked at us significantly as though to say 'see how suspicious she is'.”
