While Caril's attorneys filed petitions requesting a new trial, she busied herself at the Nebraska Center for Women, completing her high school education, reading more than 1,000 books, getting instructions in sewing, and writing a regular "Dear Gabby" column in the institution's paper. Her spotless record earned her the privilege of going bowling, swimming and (occasionally) shopping in the town of York.

...pivotal center of the comedy is S Millamant, as iridescent a creature as a g dramatist ever pinned on paper. She is almost a pre-Shavian heroine, a kind of ' sexier cousin to Shaw's Major Barbara. Like Barbara, she is independent in mind and as spirited as a thoroughbred. Unlike Barbara, Millamant is a complete coquette, full of feminine witchcraft.
