I don't dismiss the possibility that BOB wrote his entries in Laura's diary
when she was present as easily as you do. For some reason, I have had this
very vivid image in my mind ever since I read the diary where BOB *is* leaning
over her shoulder, writing entries in her diary, while Laura is either 1)
incapacitated in the same way Sarah Palmer was incapacitated while Maddy was
being killed or 2) unable to recognize BOB as Leland because of some kind of
mental block which prevents her from seeing the devastating truth that her
father was BOB. For some reason, this image is very frightening to me; I
think it's because it plays on our tendencies to deny painful truths or
because it shows how powerful one person's influence over another *can* be.
