it's been quite frightening.

not anyone with any dignity left in them.

you have struck upon an obvious truth, Ms. Karla.

indeed!

and lately it's been quite frightening in it's intensity, as if he was going to
explode at any moment. at first Ms. Renay was just a lousy poet, but now he's
manifested his obsession into really terrible and almost violent comments.

let's just be thankful that Renay lives far away from dockery. who knows where
his obsession with her could lead to?
he could get really hurt if he tried anything.
