In chapter 8, we really begin to dig into Mr. Hudson's secret journal. He explores with Nancy Ashford. At first, Bobby thought that Hudson was a psychopath, but later, he found a hint of sanity that encouraged him to move on. Nancy and Bobby learn that Doctor Hudson was a Christian, but he kept it a secret. He says that he read the verse in the Bible that says "If your left hand causes you to sin, cut it off." At first, he took the Bible very literally, but later dug deeper into the real meaning of it all. Unlike many people, Hudson valued the Bible, and considered it to be far from lees.
New words from this week
Exultant - pg. 112 - Triumphantly happy - "Returning from Tony's, wide awake and exultant, he [Bobby] had resolved, late as it was, to decode a few pages of the journal."
Lees - pg. 113 - Dregs; refuse - "He had gouged his hot face into his pillow and decanted his wrath to its bitter lees..."
