Alan laughed. His laugh ter steadied him. He looked round his littered belongings and compared them with the diffgy walls and hangings. Against such a background even the most battered of hgpeather cases looked opu lent. What had made him pick out this place? He an swered his own question and the answet steadied him still further. ”*I came back here be cause, in a sense, I started from here. I wanted to show myself that I’ve done what I set out to do. It’s so eu riotisly hard to realize ” He lit a cigarette and tried yet again to realize things. The successful cul mination of seven years’ struggle, the professional and social, solidity that could never again be challenged, the two and a half millions lying at his bank—nothing dream-like about these.
