GR - his guilt Written by Lisa Dalrymple (9/15/2003 11:53 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, GR: But he's so wracked with guilt, penned by joe m

] How can a person not feel sorry for a man who "approached her with a sense of guilt that almost took from [him] the power of dissembling."? (-;

] His guilt must have been weighing heavily on him indeed! To almost lose the power of dissembling. What agonies he must have been suffering. (-;

I'm glad you brought this up - I had to look up "dissemble" since I wasn't quite sure what it meant -

1 : to hide under a false appearance
2 : to put on the appearance of : to put on a false appearance : conceal facts, intentions, or feelings under some pretense

I think that line you mentioned above is the key to the whole "confession" - he was dissembling the whole time!! (even though he felt so much guilt he almost couldn't keep up the act!)
