[Magdalen] Bullied?

[Don Boyd]

Jay, do you assume that BTF (Before the Tree Fell) Governor Abbott's soul was pristine, generous, and/or kindly disposed toward any but his own kind?  AFIK No evidence to that effect has ever been adduced, and I believe that should any such evidence exist I would be aware of it as I live only a few miles from the Governor's Mansion.
