Am I way off in thinking that there were a few early hints at mischievous thoughts, on the part of Herr Gosch, about Gerda? I thought these had a somewhat sexual undertone. If I'm right, was anyone else surprised that we simply stopped getting more information about these thoughts beyond a certain point?
On the whole, as I read the book, I thought Gosch was being set up to play a much larger, antagonising role at some stage and this doesn't happen.
