And he did all of this because of Dorothea.]]

* The entire premise: a man can run a white slavery ring, smuggle wayward girls out of a convent school, and kill one when she escapes, all without fear of consequences. Why? Because the girls are rejected by society, the school is more interested in discipline than their well being, and he has a prominent figure in the city government to make any police investigation go away.

Jane's dialog makes it clear that she's familiar with her mother's condition. The landlord isn't responsible, and it's not even clear if the "he" that Anna Ross expresses fear of is the landlord himself or a figure from her delusions which he happened to play into by pounding so aggressively at the door - which he did because he smelled gas from the apartment.


* Jane's mother [[spoiler:appears to be quite mad, almost committing suicide. It's implied that it was because of the landlord.]]

* Jane's mother [[spoiler:appears [[spoiler:suffers from delusions and paranoia, perhaps schizophrenia. She locks Jane in with her in a terrified effort to be quite mad, almost committing "protect" her, and then tries to commit suicide. It's implied not clear if she meant to take Jane with her or if Jane was simply trying to stop her, but either way the situation could easily have led to the deaths of both... especially since Anna's landlord states that it he was trying to get into her apartment because of the landlord.he smelled gas.]]
