This is, as he quotes, “The first time a grave had opened up” in his rode of l […]

Part of this is I think the time period they were written. Since both novels […]

Like Catherine, she has the abili […]

For starters, he refers to his son as “property”, and this is very telling to what he thinks of his son and whether or not he truly cares about him. […]
