This article was very helpful.  When we get to Canto One it will quickly be
demonstrated that Aunt Maud was a Moonlight person, which seems to me to argue
aginst her having molested young Shade.  I don't think dykes (excuse this term,
but I know several women who refer to themselves as such) like little boys as
sex partners (any more than K would like a nymphet).  Still the subject of a
young innocent being "corrupted" by a larger and older entity is in the text at
more than one place, both in the poem and in the Commentary.  If N had Maud
going after youg Shade then I don't believe he "got it right."
