"There's nothing like a common thought for binding people together.
"What about the little one?" he asked with difficulty. "Ah I tell you the truth, Phil, that's the for I came. Well, mostly, anyway. You see, a child isn't fit for a compound ezactly.

'And that's just the reason why the truth might be kept from her, said Andy. 'If he wasn't well known and nobody could help liking him, after all, when he was straight if he wasn't so well known the truth might leak out unawares.
