Is this satire? This must be satire. I have not yet met a single character who is not un-hinged in some way. Seriously, there is not an ounce of sense amongst them.

Sand has also just turned up the creep factor - a creep by the name of Raymon:

"Raymon came up to her, his dancing slippers making no sound on the thick, soft carpet. He saw her crying, and when she turned her head she found him at her feet, firmly grasping her hands which she strove vainly to withdraw. Then, I must admit, with ineffable joy she saw her plan of resistance fail.

She felt that she passionately loved this man, who was not deterred by obstacles and came to bring her happiness in spite of herself. She blessed heaven which rejected her sacrifice, and instead of scolding Raymon she almost thanked him.

 

As for him, he already knew he was loved. He did not need to see the happiness shining through her tears to understand that he was the master and could be daring. He did not give her time to question him and, assuming her role of interrogator, without explaining his unexpected presence, without trying to make himself less guilty than he was, he said: ‘Indiana, you’re crying . . . Why are you crying? . . . I want to know!’

 

She started at hearing herself called by her first name, but there was even more happiness in the surprise aroused by his boldness. ‘Why do you ask?’ she said. ‘I oughtn’t to tell you.’"
