Now it is well and good for me to come here. You need not think any of this reprimand for you. It is fine and well for me to come here and talk to you, but you are not taking time from your daily activities to develop your own abilities, not to look inward, and you (Theodore) need not be included here. You will have your sessions when you take some time to look within yourselves. You must do part of your own work. I shall not do it for you. I even make Ruburt do his own work and I ride him hard.

A note to Ruburt: he is of late too severe with those in his Tuesday class, too hard a taskmaster.

[...] He was indeed a taskmaster.

I may make this a short session, since Ruburt is somewhat indisposed, and after all I am not that much of a taskmaster. [...]

[...] He felt you a stern taskmaster, and the logic as being: the worse you feel the more you should drive yourself. [...]
