I'm glad you got them all sorted. Expect no less, of course.
But no, indeed, indeed it's not, though one could wish it were the first case I've seen. Or you. You know I try not to involve myself directly in these romantic squabbles; at that age every word, every glance, every raised eyebrow seems to have such powerful meaning to their naive little hearts. I've generally found that it's useless to fight such storms of passion; they calm themselves best when left to rage out at sea. One finds that intervening often only throws young lovers more steadfastly into each other's arms.
Naturally, I trust your assessment implicitly. I'm merely pointing out that if the situation is as drastic as you say then any course we mere adults may attempt could just as easily fail as succeed.
I do not disagree that the love affairs of the young are inconstant and unpredictable. However, when they are damaging and violent, it is incumbent on adults to exercise their authority and intervene.
It is your duty to make the effort, Horace. I trust you'll find that you have more sway over your pupils than you expect.
