" It was a curious sort of friendship, the one she shared with the Johnson twins. They were known for their unerring taste; consequently, they never failed to steer Jane wrong. But they did it so nicely, it was almost a pleasure to be laughed at by them. As Jane wanted to be steered astray, she welcomed their efforts. They lied to her; she lied to them. Since Jane wanted to be an object of ridicule, it worked out delightfully for all concerned. "
