Mrs. Talliot, when asked about Gertrude Stein's sexuality, claims to be only vaguely familiar with the information ("Well I believe so.") But she passes in front of a book store frequently. That book store would have had books by Gertrude Stein on display. And thus it is impossible that she would have managed to ignore Ms. Stein's sexuality. Anyone in Ms. Talliot's place should be extremely familiar with Ms. Stein's sexuality. And so when she claims only vague familiarity, it's because she is trying to hide just how much she is obsessed with Ms. Stein's compatible sexuality. And because she is a lesbian, she is not a reputable witness.
