Regretta was incredibly soft with some people.
She was forgiving of their blatant flaws and compassionate with their catastrophic mistakes.
But then with others she came down hard as a pile of bricks.
It was black and white thinking.
‘They should have done better’
I think the difference was whether you were in her imaginary inner circle or not.
If she didn’t like you she would not tolerate mistakes. If she was fond of you, you could do no wrong.
