I wonder about the other dolls too. Was the collection of dolls a metaphor of Dru's victims? I also remember Spike telling Willow in "Lover's Walk" that he gave Dru "beautiful dresses with beautiful girls in them"...it sounded as if said girls were dolls to play with. Like Sheila in "School Hard".
What Dru said about Miss Edith speaking out of turn and when she turned her away shows that sometimes Dru didn't want to hear what Miss Edith said indeed but it also shows that Dru believes in punishment. She was very into punishing Angel for what Angelus did to her family for instance in "What's My Line". She had always had a grudge about that. But it is always in a twisted way. Angel is punished for what Angelus' crimes, while Dru worships her soulless Daddy, and Miss Edith is punished for what Drusilla did. But after all it makes sense. It is the soul that can be punished in Hell, because it is the soul that can suffer, not the soulless person...Punishing Angelus would be pointless. Dru does have a logic.
Miss Edith being not allowed to watch Dru feeding also kinda reminds me me, in a twisted way, Angel who didn't want to drink blood in front of Buffy. Here Dru decided to turn the doll away. In Angel's case he was the one facing away.
The more I think about it, the more I come to the conclusion that Miss Edith represented Dru's soul.
PS: I suppose you haven't gotten the postcard from Jordan. This is crazy. Nobody in Europe got them! But I swear I sent them!
