“The hair in his nostrils quivered slightly, and as he shook his head his eyes filled with tears.
“I can’t do it – I can’t get mixed up in it,” he said.

“When a man gets killed I never like to get mixed up in it in any way. I keep out. When I was a young man it was different – if a friend of mine died, no matter how, I stuck with them to the end. You may think that’s sentimental, but I mean it – to the bitter end.”
