older.Rose, as she became older, would be known for sex. Miss Broadie took special interest in her, because, as she saw it, Rose had instinct. The love of Miss Broadie’s prime was Mr. Lloyd, the art teacher, but he was married and she did not find that to be befitting of herself. So, because Miss Broadie could not have Mr. Lloyd herself, she planned to set Rose up for a love affair with him, but that did not work out as she planned.Sandy, the last of the Broadie set, was the one girl that Miss Broadie choose to let herself get closest to as she felt that Sandy matured. When Sandy was still young, however, Miss Broadie felt that Sandy had no hope. She told Sandy she would never be one of her crme-de-la-crme, and gives Sandy looks that say “One day you’ll go too far.” Yet Sandy has an obsession over Miss Broadie. She writes imaginative stories about Miss Broadie’s love life. A deep envy develops over Miss Broadie, one that is never directly stated but nonetheless very obvious. The downfall of Miss Broadie is because of this secret animosity that Sandy holds towards her. Sandy, rather than Rose, becomes the lover to Mr. Lloyd. It seems as if it is her way of trying to be Miss Broadie, as Miss Broadie is so in love with Mr. Lloyd but cannot have him. Sandy tells Mr. Lloyd of how ridiculous Miss Broadie is and ridicules him for not clearly seeing it. It is Sandy who in the end betrays Miss Broadie, telling the schoolmaster, who has always tried to bring Miss Broadie down, that Miss Broadie is a fascist. This is the information, lie as it could be, that finally is used to force Miss Broadie to retire.Even ten years later, Sandy holds the same feelings towards Miss Broadie. Miss Broadie never truly knows, and still confides in Sandy, asking her over and over again who could have possibly betrayed her, because upon being forced to retire, she was told that it was one her set that had done this to her....
