“The worst was yet to come, he knew. Already he could feel a world of trouble waiting for him behind the next door, but the worst that could have happened was also already behind him; the thing not done, which could have been- which he would have had to live with for the rest of his life.”

“He found himself asking was there any point in being alive without helping one another?

“ it seemed both proper and at the same time deeply unfair that so much of life was left to chance.”
