What do we learn about the girls in PhysEd (gym class)?
[jp] The girls stood apart physically from the other girls, not just emotionally. We learn about their diseases (see 3.1.8) and they learn they have even more in common than their outlook on life. They were excused from ‘PhysEd’ (physical education) and ‘games’ (intramural sports). This gave them lots of compulsory, virtually unsupervised time together. It’s no wonder they became fast friends. They would have been in all classes together, and they had this extra, special time to themselves as well.
