She is a lesbian (as I've said too many times).  Kinbote's take on her is
unusual for a female.  He gives her grudging respect, suggesting her
homosexuality, calling her "far from spinsterish" and with an "extrvagant and
sardonic turn of mind" (like he might wish we would suggest he has).  Her
collection of *Life* photo ads are very funny and sexual in a way that Andy
Whore-Hall might have liked.  The last lines of the comment to line 91 is
obscure:  Does he think Maud is Satan's small ugly psuedo-nymph?  No.  I think
he means the Ad-Guys on Madison Ave.
