For the next five years she haunted my life. [...] And in the end, it was Gertrude who saved me. She came to me when I was desperate, nowhere to go, and she offered to help.
No. No, Gertrude waited until he was desperate, waited until there was nowhere to go, then and only then did she offer help
She let Gerry be abused by Mary for five years until he was broken enough to do anything she wanted
and even though he says more then once that he didn’t trust her- he still trusted her enough for her to take advantage of him
for everything he knows, so so much was kept from gerry just to keep him bound in servitude
