The brief introduction to Helen was in the classroom where she discovered the boys were taking their direction from Opie who was taking his direction from Andy with regards to the history of this country, and dates and stuff. While she may have been quite meek in the classroom, you can't say she was "rather humble" or "lady-like" as she really did give the devil to Andy in the court room, even causing Barney to take a step back as she stormed out. And Andy's only comment was "See that foot? How can that great big foot, all of it, fit in my mouth?" I won't comment on the rest of her appearances as we all have different feelings on whether she was lady-like or a witch......and we know very well, that only shows with some controversy are going to keep watcher's attention. If every character was as sweet as we wish them all to be, there's not much of a story line to create. She was quite lady-like in the reunion movie and that's the Helen I'll remember. Regarding the fact that she should have been upfront with Andy about her undercover work in college, she had no idea he was doing a background check on her at the time. However, as fast as rumors spread in Mayberry I'm surprised the school board was able to keep all that information under their hats for long, with those wagging tongues of theirs.........
