Far North's exact words were " her mother was very against her young daughter who insisted . . ." still sounds to me as though the mother would have caused distress to her young daughter by being against her. If the mother had not put so much importance on the outward trappings of dress, perhaps the child would not have felt that she had to completely join the boys to be herself. Clothes are interchangable, bodies are not.
