Frederick Fell has the book he wanted—the first one, and he will play it to the hilt, for him. (Pause.) I am trying to give you some undistorted material here. He thinks, Fell thinks, he is interested in the Seth material. He is playing around with it. He is afraid to take the plunge. He is afraid to say no also.
He is privately enthralled, but business-wise overly cautious. This is why his firm is small. The woman (editor for F.F.) has no feeling for the material, as you know, but is interested in Ruburt as a property; and as a property has no idea of how to handle him. She is afraid of me.
Fell wonders if at times he was taken as a fool. He is intuitively aware, but very frightened of his own intuitions. He is also afraid of success.

He is afraid of striking out or harming others, and to some extent, still afraid of spontaneity. Therefore the arm conditions still persist.
