Bree is a distinctly contemporary whore, a sometime model and aspiring actress who turns a trick for cash as well as for the frequent pleasure of dominating her male customers. This is all made plain in extended conversations with her psychiatrist-a rather clumsy dramatic device that lends some furtive substance to the proceedings even while slowing them down. But Klute at least is intrigued and eventually succumbs to Bree's well-practiced blandishments. Somewhat to her surprise, and probably against her will, Bree finds herself falling for Klute...
...cities, including Boston, Philadelphia and New York, built almshouses for the indigent, but they were not institutions in the 19th and 20th century sense.

Still, many details of the proposals have filtered...
...these two encouraged, goaded and championed their children to high achievement is history. Rose was no stricter with her young than she was with herself. The secrets of her success were morning mass, diligent diet, a two-mile walk daily, frequent catnaps and "movement and action" as antidotes to despair. "How you cope is the important thing, not the events themselves," she says. Splendor aplenty had always accompanied her father's dockside determination, and Rose's fondness for French couture, parties and travel is also important: she sees herself as a Christian, not a martyr...
