\"An<\/a>Set in London in 1873<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat does he do?\u201d <\/p>\n

Pen paused. \u201cHe didn\u2019t say, actually. We mostly talked about, well, me.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cNo wonder you think he\u2019s charming.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Pen blinked. \u201cYou\u2019re an anarchist about the laws of nature?\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not an anarchist at all, same as I\u2019m not an atheist,\u201d Mark said. \u201cI can\u2019t be bothered. My mate\u2019s an atheist and he\u2019s always thinking about God and religion and whatnot. I just don\u2019t care.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Desmond\u2019s been trying to throw me out of my house, you see. I keep lodgings, and the lodging house belongs to Moreton, and if he took it away that would be my home and my livelihood gone. Everything I\u2019ve worked for, my future. I\u2019d have to start all over again with nothing. It wouldn\u2019t be pleasant.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cWhy would he do that?\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cBecause he doesn\u2019t want me to exist,\u201d Clem said simply.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He\u2019d hated very few people in his life, and when he did it was for good reason. He couldn\u2019t comprehend what it must be like to have such deep wells of loathing in your soul, such endless reserves of malice to give away and spread around.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
