Yet, Aunt Reet had "a supernatural sense of the land"; the 'invisible' stories, especially matrimonial, the generations..., the way the water flowed, or used to.:.......good stuff in TRPs world.

She, in her occupational name, is an internal metaphor of the sixties going corporate, YET, in her name, she is a 'mutual fund', 90% redistributed to owners-- NOT Wolfmann, nor like Pierce Inverarity as corporation---devouring greed only. Which may be why she still has her supernatural sense AND her concern for our Doc.  

Marvelous subtleties from TRP once we 'get' REIT.
