          "text": "    In my original post about this story I asked if there had been other\n\"young couples\". No one answered, so I will. Yes. In the scene immediately\npreceding KM's entry through the French windows, when Marcella offers\nherself to Priest (thinking him the \"master\" of the estate) and the narrator\nthreatens to throw him into the fire if he doesn't summon the master, Priest\nsays: \"It was not the lady, sir. It was you. I want that understood this\ntime.\" He means that it was not Marcella's offer of her body but the threat\nof physical injury to himself that causes him to reveal the master _\"this\ntime\"_. Priest is afraid after KM enters, but not of the narrator (p-46).\nThat the photo of the staff is \"dog-eared\" (p-40) indicates that it has been\nhandled often. Priest also retrieved it from the trash after the narrator\nhad discarded it. Priest has no need of it, but the next couple might. What\nbecame of the other \"young couples\"? How long has this been going on?\n\n\nRoy"
