Why did Tessy tell her employer that she was keeping a blog - and even gave her the address -, though?

Not crying shame on her for doing that, however. Just wondering about why someone would want to do that. Was it a well-meaning gesture, a token of friendship, and attempt to become a part of the family...?

Olen's behaviour is inexcusable. But I must confess that I fail to see why Tessy went and did that.

None of the sources explain why it prompted the reinstatement of the death penalty.

Er... presumably because Daley was lynched because the townspeople knew that otherwise he'd be condemned but not executed?

If anyone's interested in checking out the poems in the original Spanish, they can be found here.

Also, San Juan de la Cruz is not to be confused with Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, a nun, who was also an excellent poet.
