(4:35 PM. I didn’t ask Seth to comment on the fund idea. It was soon time to turn Jane and massage her with Oil of Olay. She ate well after I’d had a nap. Our early evening hour passed as usual until I was getting ready to put on my jacket to leave.

(“I don’t know,” she said. “Seth says things happen to us according to our need at any time. We’re also more open to things now—”

(I was beginning to get glimmerings of a number of questions that, as far as I knew, I hadn’t been stewing about, at least consciously.

(7:12 PM. I was glad I’d stayed. Jane had a cigarette while I packed my stuff to leave. Unexpectedly, I’d stumbled across several questions. Above all, I didn’t want the fund idea, say, to lead to complications with the insurance deal, I told Jane, or perhaps to lead to a failure of a settlement there. That is, I didn’t want to desert the insurance angle; I felt we were owed something there. I knew full well that new events brought in new probabilities. This morning while working on the letter to Maude Cardwell, I guess I’d blithely took it for granted that the fund idea might supplement any insurance benefits. But then after supper, as I talked with Seth, I found myself wondering whether the fund thing would cause enough of a change in our probabilities to perhaps negate the insurance settlement, whatever it might be. I do have faith that we’ll be treated fairly. I want to note that I have faith that all will work out, that I’m not running from one hope to another while deserting previous ones.)
