This could indicate that Madeline is a bookhouse "boy", and
since she helps James (a bookhouse boy) and Donna with their
scheme, she could be considered an unofficial bookhouse boy.

However, Cooper says that the "cousin" *is* L.P, so perhaps
Laura was a bookhouse boy, and perhaps involved in the investigation
of the cocaine dealers that the B. Boys are doing (perhaps explaining
her seeing both JAmes and Bobby).

But the "cousin" kisses cooper, so maybe the cousin is the
drooling-over-Agent Cooper("likes his coffee black") Audrey,
which would make Jerry the dwarf who comes from where the birds sing
a pretty song.  

If the cousin *is* laura, why does Dwarf-leland not recognize her
as his daughter?

Bob also says that he will kill again.  Now Leland does kill
again, so maybe Sarah's vision was her subconscious recognition that
Leland was the killer.  Who else do we know who has killed?  Leo,
bobby, josie, Hank....did Leland defend Hank in the manslaughter
case?
