Jane Wolfe Diary Entry Wednesday, 18 August 1926
Dorothy [Dorothy Olsen] went on a mad ranting, raving explosion last night which continued until 2:00 a.m. when Louis, who had gone to bed early, shouted down for Jeanne to come up.
Dorothy filled Jeanne up with all the filth she could lay her tongue to. No fishwife could exceed D's venom, abuse and rage. This morning Jeanne was hysterical and Louis has let loose at Beast and myself, as well as D. What an appalling woman! And all that rottenness poured forth because she wanted to get Beast and myself away so that she might continue on and not have to go herself. (She acknowledged that today, too, when she said that she had to look out for herself!) She could not take the decent way of asking us to go (for fear that method would fail?) She got rid of the Germers [Karl Germer] in Tunis in the same way, too.
Will she then stop shouting down everyone to pour forth facts and facts—things which seldom interest one for long. One of the first things I noticed on arriving in Tunis was that she and Beast both talked at the same time. This surprised me mightily, but I soon learned the reason why!
