supply of the manager's house. He was very thankful for these. He did
not like to lie awake in the dark, he confessed. He complained that

habitual air of subdued stoicism, which made him sympathetic and
touching. I made it clear to him that I did not attach undue importance
to the fact of his having been a convict.
