I love to play with Henry this dangerous game of imaginative deformation. We are adequate adversaries, now that Allendy has integrated me and revealed my fundamental pattern. Divest me of exteriorizations, theatricality, masochism, and you find a kernel, a core, an artist, a woman. But divest June of trappings and you find an ordinary beautiful woman with a feeling for illusion, sacrifice, ideals, fairy tales—but no contents. She must remain a character, a curiosity, a freak, the illusory form of personality.
