  17. What is being spoken about? 3. ‘Joe has another kind of problem. His emotions are slow to shift to anger in the first place, and even when they have, he has the wrong kind of intelligence, he forgets his lines and cannot score the points. Nor can he break the habit of responding to an accusation with a detailed, reasoned answer, instead of coming back with an accusation of his own. He is easily outmaneuvered by a sudden irrelevance. Irritation blocks his understanding of his own case, and it is only later, when he is calm, that an articulate advocacy unrolls in his thoughts…’

  18. Find the next line • ‘He fell as he had hung, a stiff little black stick.’ • ‘Like a self in a dream I was both first and third persons.’ • ‘Joe?’ Said the voice. ‘It’s Jed.’ • ‘He was a pathetic figure, not a threat after all but an annoyance, one that might frame itself, just as Clarissa had said, into an amusing story.’ • ‘Joe is hanging in the frame of the bathroom door like some newly discovered non-stop talking ape.’ • ‘Perhaps we really were finished.’
