both are respectful towards each other, Mrs Jones tries not to embarrass Roger and in return of her treatment to him which he was not accustomed to Roger was grateful to her and had an odd sort of respectfulness towards her. another similarity is the trust that they both put in each other. mrs jones puts her trust in Roger as she "turned him loose" and trusted him not to run away Roger reciprocates the same respect and puts his trust in her. One thing that bonds them both together is the fact that mrs jones can relate to Roger's situation and how her choices shaped her into the person she is today all on her own
