Yesterday old ----------came over and he drove me around for an hour and kept trying to convince me that I should take him back! I'm so mad I just can't speak. No one can ever take Nick's place...

...whether they will ever get there. Sometimes the answer seems to be yes, sometimes no. And as far as what happens with the way things are now and have been for centuries, the Marias seem to offer two alternatives for women: either give yourself to your enemy and go mad or commit suicide like Maria, or else harden yourself like Joana, an invented character who coolly sends her lover suggestions for improving his technique...
