“I was more alone than if I had been alone.”
“I had been alone more than I could have been had I gone by myself.”
“It was as though I had one map inside my head and it led to the man who was waiting for me. Someone who was alone — maybe even more alone — than I was…”
“Something like fear chilled me as I sat there in the small hours alone-I say alone, for one who sits by a sleeper is indeed alone; perhaps more alone than he can realise.”
“And I am more alone than ever before.”
“I was standing in the most absolute aloneness that I had ever been given.”
