ChipNoir:
I'm just looking at Tilly as one of those Larger Than Life characters that drops into the QC universe to remind us it's not 'quite' reality. We as the readers kinda have a habit of aclimitizing to the absurd after so much exposure to a certain character, that we forget the novelty of it all till the next oddball character falls into place. 

Also, has anyone considered that Beatrice is doing this out of ...guilt?

She came to some pretty hard realizations about her relationship with her daughter: She let other people raise her daughter, and took a more or less completely hands off relationship.

I could read this as her extremely heavy handed, hamfisted, meglomaniacle interpretation of making up for not being there to support her daughter for all these years.

It's a kinda twisted interpretation, but it also feels a bit more in line with how Jeph writes characters. Cartoonishly villainous as Beatrice is, she DOES have a heart beating somewhere in that black abyss of a bossom, and what little space there is in there is reserved for Hannelore at the end of the day, even if she has no idea how to express it.

Wildroses:
Plausible theory, ChipNoir. Beatrice is the sort of woman who can not picture happiness outside her lifestyle and choices, so trying to get Hannelore to take over her company from her perspective is the ultimate sign of love, twisted woman that she is.

...I'm not sure what you're talking about here?

Tilly was invited in through the front door. She didn't sneak into the apartment. What traps would she have set off?

"Oh look, she left the door open while she's on the phone to reject my presence...  I mustbe invited in!"

Queen Bea went for the discount temp agency, it would seem, with that level of deductive reasoning. Should have just fitted one of these with caterpillar tracks, since the apparent goal is for something to follow Hannelore around with 'suggestions' while ignoring her own opinion.

Did you pick that image randomly as a stock image, or is there another Sandgroper here?
I think I live about 10-15 mins from where that image was taken.

Ha. I can just imagine.

I haven't been there for my daughter. I'm going to do something about that right now, and I'll do it properly. I'll hire someone.

Is it cold in here?:
"Taffy"?

Right before saying you have a photographic memory?

Deliberate insult, or turning into her mother?

I wonder if we're about to find out how Hannelore got the way she is. No citation, but I seem to remember Jeph saying years ago that he knows the cause of Hannelore's mental health problems and that it's a plot point.
