@hawkeye10,
Quote:Alright, the hysterics are maybe OK, but what is up with all of the spitting, is that a cultural thing? Mostly this looks like a show that was intended to impress, much like excessive feminine crying. I think the defense head shrinkers will have a field day with her theatrics.
Hawkeye women tend to be very good at putting on acts and an example of that would be how the master mind and driving force behind Benedict Arnold betrayal was able to completely fool George Washington and Hamilton by her acting abilities.
When Arnold plans fell apart he had men row him to a waiting British Warship leaving his wife who was the agent for talking him into betraying his country and even help to set up the plot with British agents.
She pretended be to having a complete nerve breakdown charging Washington with wishing to kill her children and running around and crying wildly to the point that neither Washington or his aid Hamilton at the time question that she was not just a poor innocent woman and a victim of her husband actions.
They wrote her a pass to go through the lines so she and her children could rejoin her family in territory when under the control of the British army.
Her friends reported that she greatly enjoyed telling the story how she was able to fools the two men into not only letting her go but in aiding her in so doing.
Compare to fooling the intellects of such minds as Washington and Hamilton the maid fooling a few hotel supervisors and police is no great achievement.
