What is Henry thinking? Ch. 7-12

Okay so we all know that Henry knows about William, Elizabeth and Justine; but do we know what he is thinking and feeling? I think I do. He was Victors best friend so he probably had loads of sympathy. I know if my best friend's little brother died I would Call, write or visit as soon as I can! So why wasn't Henry in these chapters? Anyways, he was probably thinking, "Why wasn't I there? When can I go visit? Is Victor and Elizabeth okay?" Considering that this story takes place in the 1800s and there wasn't a telephone, he could of at least written to Victor and his family. I sure would have! Dang, skip writing I would have visited and tried to help with the grieving!
