“Talk not overmuch”, but when one does talk, for heaven’s sake, let it be to the individual involved or accused! One word then might eliminate all misunderstanding. (This includes myself—too bad I have to so note).

 

Many things I noticed on my arrival at the Abbey. One of them was this damnable beating about the bush—no one able, it seemed to me then, to say a straightforward “Yes”—“No”. Then after the occurrence, or lack of it, recriminations—“If you had done what I said”, etc.—an attempt to shift the responsibility.

This not yet weeded out.

1—Please give concrete facts when accusing people. Your own not has just the defects you observe in others.
