Resisting temptation has never been one of Thomas’ virtues. When he has an impulse to do something – regardless of whether it happens to be “good” or “bad” chances are he will simply do it or find a means in which to do it that will not rouse suspicion or controversy as a result. Once he gets an idea in his head, he is like a dog with a bone and won’t stop gnawing at it until he gets what he wants from it – so while he may control himself in the moment of the impulse itself, chances are mighty that he will revisit the idea at a later time.
