Magnificent Obsession Post 6: Chapters 16-18


Contrite - feeling or showing sorrow and remorse for a sin or shortcoming - pg. 262
Veal - the flesh of a young calf - pg. 271
Twaddle - silly idle talk - pg.  282


Chapters 16-18

Helen goes to Bobby to tell him that she everything she's ever had is actually Bobby's. The conversation they had was far from twaddle. She says that she plans to return all the money to Bobby. But he says that he's already used it all up. Bobby then tells Helen that he loves her which came as a shock to Helen. 

Next, the gang went to a fancy dinner, then to the theatre. Now, we meet a new character: Dr McLaren. McLaren invites Bobby to church, and he accepts. McLaren is the pastor of Grace Church. McLaren and Merrick have differing views on religion, and they engage in a debate.
