(“Well, my tooth has been bothering me. I was wondering if it has anything to do with George Rhodes’ tooth trouble.”)
Give us a moment... There are correlations in your overall experience with George. Otherwise, regarding the tooth episode in particular, there is only the fact that you have used the idea of the tooth and George’s difficulty to organize certain elements of your own experience so that by having the cavity filled a need will be satisfied.
The need is a sexual one—your sweet tooth—for your sexual feelings have been rearoused by your intimate encounters with Ruburt, even while neither of you thus far have even been willing to devote time to sexual gratification in the deepest terms.

(“Good night.” 11:30 PM. I thought Seth’s data on the tooth mechanisms very acute indeed. Jane and I haven’t done anything about the hypnosis suggestions, obviously; we need our recorder repaired. I sometimes think it impossible to do all we want to do, or think we should, in the course of an ordinary day. Even if we could manage this, I fear we’d end up so regimented that half of the tasks would be self-defeating. I do think that on my part at least this feeling underlies some of my own shortcomings. Seth was quite chiding in a gently amused way tonight when mentioning the hypnosis affair, his voice quiet, and, I thought, rather tired. This weekend—it’s Sunday afternoon as I type this—we’ve been literally so occupied that we didn’t take the time to go food shopping for the week’s supply. This means extra time later in the week to make up. Nor did Jane get her mail answered yesterday, as she had planned to do, nor did she find the time to putter about in the house, either in her writing room, or the studio annex.)
