" I dread their eyes more than their words. How well I know- from having worn it myself- the characteristic expression that comes over their faces when dealing with delinquent members. the expertly blended look that becomes in turn indignant, envious, contemptuous, mournful, indifferent. No special merit exempts her from their reproaches. Why shouldn't my colleagues rage if I desert them? What right have I to be free if they're not?"
