At bedtime I told my mother, "You should have seen the way Helen acted at school. It was disgusting, flirting with the boys."
Mom tucked the sheets up close around my chin, so that only my head was showing, my body covered mummy style. "Vita,"
she said, "it sounds like she's perfect for the part."

a. Because she didn't want Vita to do the play
b. Helen's flirtatiousness and attention to boys was just like Helen of Troy
