That Miss Fern, darlings; she knew everything. Dressed in the fashion of the day as a repressed lesbian spinster, barely giving hysterical housewife Christine Penmark the time of day, for how is she to protect her school knowing she has enrolled a sociopath child???????? And thins are only about to get worse.
So Miss Claudia Fern (she had two other sisters, Octavia and Burgess, in the William March novel) talks while placing favors on the table, as she snatches the tuition check from Christine, while assuring her the other children like Rhoda, knowing the truth.
You can bet Miss Fern has by her night table, "The Well Of Loneliness" by Radclyffe Hall. Too bad she had no child psychology text there, or Claude Daigle might still be alive.
He was when this shot was taken. Though not for long!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Someone wants Claude dead!!!!!!!!! But why should Miss Fern care, as long as she has her school and lesbian regalia????????? And what does Christine know, at this point, anyway??????/
The Fifties did have their moments of fun, girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely on target -- Claudia Fern knew the entire story -- a red dress on the wharf, a life guard having seen her with a boy.. Her outfit and her two "sisters" not truly being biological sisters at all - and how possibly could the Penmarks even conceive a child - that household is so sterile. Was the check an effort to appease Miss Fern, to get closer, to be friends -- Perhaps Christine longed for human contact so much that she dared to break through the closed threshold necessary of Lesbians in this era - oh but the passion they share and express its rumored is just so seductive!
