Safe to say then he didn´t fear Jeremy. The "I mustn´t turn my back on that young man." has nothing to do with death threats.
There are many myths in this case, and that goes for both sides.
There might indeed be many myths and that might be one of them, however, point me in the direction of the post where I mentioned it? I think you'll find it was Lookout (who is on your side) who mentioned RW - not me!

. I said Jeremy didn't say he wanted to kill his father (and the rest) 'to his face' - he said it to Julie, which was what I was getting at.
