Shasta grew up with Doc, didn't she?  Certainly plenty of time
to be turned by one organization or another in Hollywood -
for all I know there's a big recruiting station there like Yale -
but as a sentimental reader I was more inclined to be struck by
the fact of how she didn't share the details of her escape to a rapt
Doc and immediately begin conspiring with him to some end or other...
Tommy and Tuppence sort of thing...
pointing up Doc's loneliness, or unconnectedness, at least with her,
and his solitary nature.  Is it him, or is it her?
