“I am Peter McCullough’s daughter.” This meant nothing as well. Then it did. She reached for the doorknob. “Peter McCullough did not have any daughters,” she said. “I’m afraid you are mistaken.” “He is my father,” the woman repeated. When Jeannie didn’t react, the woman got an imperious look. “You are my niece,” she said. “Regardless of our ages.”
This has been bugging me the entire book. Early on I got confused about who was who's parent. I checked Wikipedia and discovered there is a TV show about this book, and in the show it says Jeannie is Pete's daughter, but the way she talks about her father doesn't jive with what we know about Peter. Either Wikipedia is wrong, or the TV show is different from the book (suspect the latter). At least now I have the definitive answer.
