Once when he thought he was alone and unobserved I saw him firing his gun in the woods at a young tree. Other times he would throw things down and break them on the ground, he had a great deal of violence inside and sometimes it emerged this way with a gesture and other times it showed in his expression when you found him sitting alone on the terrace or staring out a window” (Findley 152).
