This reading doesn't really work for me. I mean, I'd say that the
sisters are like a lot of P's character sketches ...  and in this case
the sisters are your average NYC Jewish women moved to California. Maybe
a bit of Patty and Selma there too, but the Owlglass comparison doesn't
quite fit. Owlglass is now Mother Superior, Sister R.
