2 references in this episode I'm having a hard time parsing are, p. 136
"...to show something of how she felt about the night's clientele..."
and p. 137 "In Leni, now, nothing of her long employment shows,
nothing."
Is Leni fantasizing that she is a prostitute?
--------
Yes. Fascinating considering her quest is to transcend "being used," but
then this whole dream sequence demonstrates Leni's real heart: fantasy of
the "Dependent Little Girl."
