Quote #10

It is interesting that this statement about Dr. Kenn implies that his job as a parish priest had done something to prepare him for cruel gossip and rumors, even though this latest instance shocked him. The sentence beings "even with," implying that his job experience had previously helped him to deal with rumors and gossip and other bad aspects of society.
