I meant to note, on p13-14*, re xS's apparent lack of (at least, obvious) Sloth, that the two among my relations, both of whom I love, who look significantly most similar to xS – but not in the eyes, which are her glory – both suffer from sloth, or laziness, physical and/or mental, as their dominant (apparent) vice.** The moral, too, is that at that particular point on the Circle, where a turn and return is necessary, it is doing nothing, failing to engage with Reality, which will carry you on and round again on the Outer Circle.***

**{Both later changed dramatically.}[Nor do I think this was necessarily a fair judgement at the time. <20160704>]
