“Self-pity is a gutter from which you will never arise. Do you know how hard I have worked to keep your head above the mud? But I was not the one who rescued you, you impossible fool. You were half-alive when I met you, a ruin of the man you could be. I have watched you claw your way back to life in the past months, taking an interest in your work, in your future.

You are more blessed with natural abilities and native intelligence than any man I have ever met. You are a savage miracle, Revelstoke Templeton-Vane, knit together by the hands of nature herself. You cannot see it. In your mind, you are Sampson shorn of his hair, and Caroline has been your Delilah. Very well! Mourn what you have lost and pull down the temple on top of yourself. I will not weep for you! But neither will I watch you do it!”
He stared at me in frank astonishment. His mouth open. After a long moment, he spoke, forcing the words out slowly, with obvious effort. “I hardly know what to say to that.”
