'Did, at this prognostication of achievement, a great Hallelujah fill John's heart? No. The satirical mood of the station platform lingered, and now the face which often seemed to say, "How could she possibly say 'No' to me?" Elaborately concealed even alone in that empty room, the thought, "If she takes me it must mean she had no one else." And from there to proceed to wonder if she were so very "wonderful" and if he were in love. Emotionally, his character was a house built of cards, the full pack.'
from A Share of the World by Hugo Charteris (Part Two, Chapter 21)
