Well, I agree that he doesn't seem her "type", but she's nearly godlike, and
who am I to presume to know what her type is? I thought of it because there
was some indication (probably prior topic, don't remember) that Paarfi gets
his detailed information, however inaccurate, from Sethra, possibly even she
enjoys feeding him bogus stories. So I have this picture in my mind of this
affair going on and she's telling him wilder and wilder stories in her
outstandingly successful attempt to woo him, because of course he is head
over heels for her, who could resist her once she put her mind to something?
Likely he is nothing more than a moment's diversion to her, like in
_Dangerous Liasons_.
