Speaking of the Avon/Anna relatioship, as someone else brought up
earlier-- it is likely she did pose herself to him as someone with
anti-Federation political sentiments. After all, she was infiltrating
his life to see if he *was* political. OTOH, she may have posed as a
Crusader, someone with serious plans, or as a Waif, one whose dreams
were dying and who needed a hero. Any thoughts by others on this?
Dana replied: "Just a little girl from Little Rock"--someone like Lorelei Lee, who
sees her way out of poverty as attaching herself to rich and powerful
men--and Avon knows perfectly well that Anna won't leave a rich
husband unless he can provide her with a guaranteed life of luxury?
Possible, and yet my instincts say that that would be the least likely
of all sorts of women to appeal to him. Because, in that case, she's
choosing *money* over *him*. And if such, she might sell her love to the
next high bidder to come along. That's a rather iffy sort of devotion to
risk much for, especially the risk to his life that came later.
