“Shall I? Thought Simon. Shall I open my mind and let the devils in, and know nothing? Then it will all be over and Bowdon will be dead and we can all get some sleep...”

“If you sniggered too loud, Bowdon might notice you. If you didn’t snigger at all, he’d certainly notice. Simon Wood didn’t snigger. Bowdon noticed.”

“Somebody should kill Bowdon. Simon tried to think of a good reason for not killing Bowdon. Bowdon’s mother would cry? Simon doubted it.”
