Rain on the iron roofs, vultures shuffling along the corrugated tin, a West African port too hot and too small to hide anything in. Major Scobie has been fifteen years in this place, trusted by everyone, loved by no one who matters to him.

Point me out the happy man and I will point you out either egotism, selfishness, evil or else an absolute ignorance.
The Heart of the Matter, Graham Greene
