“In the three months following her accident, much of it spent in bed, she had done literally hundreds of watercolors, turning them out at a rate John Eastlake and the other girls found a little frightening. (If “Nan Melda†had an opinion, it wasn’t offered in print.) Eastlake tried to slow her down  on doctor’s orders  but this was counterproductive.

Rickert, seemed to find this endearing. Recalling my own eating binges, I found it all too familiar.”
