Notes:

Editorial Note:  The layout of this entry is anomalous, in that Ellen Flowers appears to be asking a question on her own account about John Flowers, so she would normally be considered the subject. Here, however, the subject is clearly defined as John Flowers. This may be a mistake on Forman’s part or may have some other significance in terms of his interpretation of the chart. Cf. CASE94, where almost exactly the same question is put but with Ellen Flowers as subject and John Flowers as object of the enquiry.
