O knihe

Excerpt from Caybigan

Headlong outbursts from Carter were nothing new to us, so we took no Offence. Finally someone said, Well, he's dead, with that tone that signifies final judgment, the last, best, most charitable thing which can be said of the man being weighed.

But Carter did not stop there. You didn't know him, did you? He asked. You didn't know him; tell me now, did you know him? He was still extra ordinarily angry.

We did not answer. Really, we knew little of the dead man - excepting that he was mean and small, and not worth knowing. He was mean, and he was a coward; and to us in our uncompromising youth these were just the unpardonable sins. Because of that we had left him alone, yes, come to think of it, very much alone. And we knew little about him.

Here, I'll tell you what I know, Carter began again, in a more conciliatory tone; I'll tell you everything I know of him. He lit a cheroot.
