Jane Wolfe Diary Entry circa mid October 1924
Horribly fed up with V.L. [Adam Murray], his empty chatter, which he keeps going just for the sake of wagging a jaw. He wants to pow-wow and palaver too much. I can't stand people who, having eaten a meal, must continually nibble at all sorts of biscuits, etc., until it is time for the next. Hell with him, anyway!
I wish I understood my reaction to V.L. I would rather he disliked me as he does O.P.V. [Norman Mudd]—it would be the necessary friction to produce vigour. I have no opposition to work against. Possibly I have been lashing myself in an endeavour to work up opposition, which would be a food that I need.
V.L. says things in such a childlike manner; and sometimes I think him childlike, of course. Lack of humour, rather. This evening after telling me the various and sundry things he had against O.P.V. (he thinks some of his reactions may be karmic) he most simply said: "I know it is against the Law, but sometimes I think I will break his spirit." And he couldn't see anything funny in this! The conceited fool.
