Sarah Rapp repeats the common assertion that H-H ³deflowered² Lo. This takes
the dubious decision to reject H-H¹s statement that he was ³not her first
lover.² Is there a hidden reason why some people are willing to accept H-H¹s
confession as generally honest & self-damning but assume he was lying about
Lo¹s earlier sexual activities?
I¹m away from my library. Does VN offer specific clues as to Lo¹s first loss
of virginity, as opposed to vague tales of ³fooling around with the boys?²
