"Is she all right?"
Miss Prim searched for her words before replying.
"I think so, but she seems very sad. She believes you blame her for something that happened many years ago."
The Man in the Wing Chair was silent for a moment.
"I don't. I forgave her many years ago, when I was still a boy. It's she who blames herself, but she can't see that. It's easier to project blame into the eyes of others and defend yourself against that than to find it within yourself, where there's no possible defense."
