Something else does, though, and that is the affair between Frances and Karel. They take it for granted, and the reader is forced to as well, because there seems to be little reason for and even less development in this love.

A few pieces of home truth serve to obscure and even replace the real issues involved, and force the debate onto an arcane and unreal level. It leaves Beame pleading, sadly and lamely, that his convalescent is, after all, a member of the family...
