Chapter 9

• "endless drill of police and photographers and newspaper men"
• "by the time I had the number it was long after five, and no one answered the phone"
• "long silence on the other end of the wire ... the connection was broken"
• "blessed are the dead that teh rain falls on"
• "the sender was leaving immediately and to postpone the funeral until he came"
• "he'd helped build up the country"
