Gerlad

• She was young and pretty and warm-hearted - and intensely grateful.

  Gerald speaks highly of her and is clearly flattered by how much she appreciates him. But he goes on to treat her appallingly anyway
• I’m rather more – upset – by this business than I probably appear to be –

  Gerald is two-faced – was he really upset by this? Or has he just realised that he should be upset by this
• It may have all been nonsense

  He begins to change back – if he can get out of the problem, then it didn’t really happen
