NICK

• I'm inclined to reserve all judgements
• I was privy to the secret griefs of wild, unknown men
• I was a guide, a pathfinder, an original settler
• Welcome or not I found it necessary to attach myself to someone
• I wasn't actually in love but I felt a sort of tender curiosity
• I am one of the few honest people I have ever known
• “I put my arm around Jordan’s golden shoulder and drew her towards me”
• “I had no girl whose disembodied face floated along the dark cornices and blinding signs, and so I drew up the girl beside me, tightening my arms”
