EXTRACT: When I saw Dely wearing Mrs Noorduyn's frock my heart beat so fast. The queer looked so much like her as if he had possessed her spirit. Are you afraid to die, Peter?...I don't know what I'm living for, and yet I have a revolver and I'm practising like a good Dutch wife to protect myself at the least sign of trouble, and I ask myself - why? Why? Do I want to protect this house? My way of life? Myself? Look at that pathetic piano. Everything's rotting. Why do we bring all our little bits of civilisation with us?
