A gabriel's parents sent him off to a boarding school when he was 11 years old. He describes the sisognony in letters home as a prison m his only escape was a daily walk around the grounds. His letters home to his parents became almost fervidly loving and cloying, agonizing over bright memories of his childhood and obsessing over the pain of his absence. Lucy hughes hallett suspects that this environment caused him to grow a shell that was at least partly responsible for the fact that he grew up into the sociopath.
