Respond to the following comment from Eileen Wismer:
"Oh, don't worry," she replied. "I often had to play double with him so he wouldn't know I knew about their troubles. But I'd be hard put to be civil" (128).
Eileen Wismer needs to calm down. As much as I admire her dedication to doing the right thing, she is underhanded, sneaky and just plain rude. This quote evidences this exceptionally well. Eileen Wismer is a true definition of dragon lady.
I this quotes Eileen explains that she basically had to pretend she didn't know the marriage problems John and Polly were having. She had to act like she was totally oblivious to it but she knew. She really cares about Polly and wants to get to the bottom of this case. I'm sure nothing would make her happier than to expose John Wilson for who he really is.
I think this quote is a bit ironic because John thinks that Polly knew nothing about their "problems" and he played double with her, making lies, writing fake letters impersonating Polly, and Eileen just assumed they were having bad marriage problems, and acted like she didn't know this. When in reality they both were mistaken about the other, Polly and John weren't having marriage problems, he murdered her. Eileen seems a bit deceitful and sneaky when she says this.
I think Eileen is a true friend to Polly. She was there to offer her support and advice to Polly and to action after her disappearance to discover what had become of her. Though she knew about Polly and John's turbulent relationship she knew that john knowing that Polly confided in her would only make matters worse for Polly. However, Eileen recognized John was despicable and couldn't bring herself to be cordial with him.
Eileen seems like a very good friend to Polly in some ways. She was there to offer support and she was there to make sure they discovered what had happened to Polly. She should have made it obvious to John that she knew that they were having troubles and that she would do anything to protect Polly from harm, so that he knew that someone would do something incase something happened to her. This could have affected his final decision about what to do with Polly, and may have been more hesitant about what he did, knowing that someone was watching out for her.
