I must have walked that floor for a couple of hours. And all the time, the landlord never moved from behind the bar. He hadn’t spoken since the wedding guests left. He wouldn’t even look at me. I think he hated me. I know he did.
[... …]
And as I moved across that yard towards them and offered myself to them, then for the first time I had a simple and genuine sense of home-coming. Then for the first time there was no atrophying terror; and the maddening questions were silent. At long last I was renouncing chance.
