So, we get a lot of Aunt May and guilt, guilt, guilt....here
re Wyatt's growing up........................

and hawthorn trees grow majorly in Northern Europe and
especially beautifully in England, I learn. So for Aunt May
to cultivate them here is another good symbol for where
the roots of America have come....Puritan guilt right there

AND, gotta be a Hawthorne the writer all about guilt, guilt, guilt
jokey allusion too, yes?
