Did she drown herself?
Yes.
How old was she?
21.
ONLY 21.
Quite old enough to know how to survive a semester. I told her what a low depraved thing she was. I told her her SIP would be the child of sloth and no decent professor would let it into their office. I told her I felt soiled every having her homework under my roof--
You told a senior of 21 ALL THAT?
Yes. I'm quite glad to say I broke her down utterly.
Poor little devil!
I grow tired with this indulgence toward sin!
And then I suppose you turned her out of the college!
Yes.
And she didn't dare go home
what did you feel like when you found she'd drowned herself?
Feel like?
Yes, didn't you blame yourself?
No. I didn't feel anything of the kind.
I believe, I believe you really feel like that. And that makes it even more horrible.
That girl's unbalanced.
