I felt that the driver for Mrs. Blackett and Capt. Flint was fear- the GA had established a reign of terror in their childhood, and they were still subject to it. I think that the GA knows this and takes full advantage.
Luckily, the next generation is being raised in a more enlightened way, and can live free of that fear.
I still wonder how much trouble Molly got into on her return from the Matterhorn. Out all day, getting her clothes torn, and hanging out with Bob Blackett, to boot. It was probably bread and water for a week.
