Still, it also seem possible with the incidents described in SHY(a homosexual wife beater)., that Mrs Rodgers could also have taken offense at references to aspects of her daughters marriage that were not publicly known at the time, but which Mr Sondheim was aware of. One thing I came aware with from reading SHY, is that Mary Rodgers endured marriage to an abusive spouse and the death of a child from her 2nd marriage. To use the cliche, she was definitely a survivor, with grace and courage.
