Norma was horrified at anything that brought attention to the family. I think Norma was trying to preserve the family secret and was afraid that anything that brought attention to them would uncover the secret and turn the family upside down.

Insult! Humiliation... worse than put in the 'stocks' in the town square. I believe that Norma would never leave home again if that kind of publicity was given to the incident. But what would her headline be? "Liquor intensifies pain"?

Following barbm's clever lead, I think Norma would quickly devise a newspaper headline stating:
CELEBRATED AUTHOR CHARGED WITH INCITING MAYHEM WHEN DRUNKEN BOOKCLUB MEMBERS FOUND CAVORTING IN STREETS - Members Cite Introduction of Automobile Cocktail at Discussion of Stewart's New Book
She would then affix copies of the headline to several pigeons and send them off with smug satisfaction.
