To flee temptation; 'tis the only way to overcome.
[A chilly wind blew as drops of rain pattered along the streets. Ted himself was decently soaked. Ted thought that if Micaiah needed some way to quell flames, the heavens might succor her circumstance.]
From the library, of course! And anywhere else that might destroy you. My hearing's very keen, you know; not a word you've said escaped me. How the healthy, decent sight of others borrowing books stoked your wrath; how you were driven by a desire you'd fain deny to greedily, vainly hoard them. You even implied you'd resort to violence if you weren't appeased!
The Micaiah I know could only consent to such a sorry state of affairs under the heavy strain of temptation, and then but faintly. You're living on a knife's edge. Is that the only peace you hopelessly proclaim possible?
