Thoughts about Mr. Bedford when he meets Mr. Cavor at Lympne

It could've been anyone. I got into these things at a time when I felt I was safe from any potentially distressing encounters. I'd gone to Lympne because I considered it to be the most boring spot on the planet. “At the very least, here,” I declared, “I shall find serenity and a chance to work!”
