In reference to the article: Lily doesn't tell her aunt about her gambling debts out of "reverence for honesty". She makes up that story because she needs the money to pay back Trenor. "If her aunt turned such a stony ear to the fiction of the gambling debts, in what spirit would she receive the terrible avowal of the truth?"

Just out of curiosity, is her aunt really named Mrs. Peniston? 'Cause that's perverted. It was on the California STAR tests for juniors in 2006. --M1ss1ontomars2k4 01:30, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article upgrading needed:

Plenty of advice here - but bear in mind that this article is primarily about a novel, the Film adaptations if they is going to head in the direction of a fuller treatment should really have their own articles. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 11:01, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
