"There's another man within me that's angry with me, rebukes, commands, and dastards me": Sir Thomas Browne's line gave Greene his title and the whole engine of the book. Francis Andrews has informed on the smuggling gang he sailed with, and it opens with him running through the wet Sussex dark, hunted by Carlyon, the captain he worshipped and sold.

There was nothing in him but sentimentality and fear and cowardice, nothing in him but negatives.
The Man Within, Graham Greene
