(I meant to post this last week, but somehow it didn't make it up)
The other night, Dolly got left behind at the JSS campus. Most nights, two cars come back, and on this night Dolly stayed to play volleyball, intending to catch the second vehicle. The driver knew she was coming on that car, but had fallen asleep and was startled awake by the doctor who had stayed behind. In his sleepy confusion, he forgot about Dolly until they were about 20 minutes away. They called Dolly to see if they should come back, and she told them she would just stay the night.
She hung out talking with friends until about 1 in the morning, when she went back to the guest room, which shares and entrance/front room with the living quarters of one of the doctors. She isn't a nun, but her last position was at a mission. During an earlier conversation about eating habits and ghee (clarified butter), someone noticed that she ate a lot of it and remained thin. They wondered where it went - "Rightous Indignation" was someone's accurrate answer.
This doctor was still awake and about when Dolly came back, and started questioning her about where she had been. Had she been out doing work? (no). Was she out with girls or boys? (both). Give me their names! Dolly didn't tell her who she was out with, and she "banned" Dolly from the guest room. We found out later she has been on a bit of a rampage of late, harassing people (working adults) for staying out/up late.
Many of the women especially are intimidated by this type of behavior, and for the young women telling the threat of having their parents told these things is legitimately scary. For Dolly, it was an annoyance, but for staff, getting on the wrong side of a "sir" can mean the loss of a job. Fortunately, the rest of the doctors are more reasonable, and the doctor who's staff was most harassed told her that this isn't her ashram.
