"Oh, God", he thought, "what a strenuous career it is that I've

chosen! Travelling day in and day out. Doing business like this

takes much more effort than doing your own business at home, and

on top of that there's the curse of travelling, worries about

making train connections, bad and irregular food, contact with

different people all the time so that you can never get to know

anyone or become friendly with them. It can all go to Hell!" He

felt a slight itch up on his belly; pushed himself slowly up on

his back towards the headboard so that he could lift his head

better; found where the itch was, and saw that it was covered

with lots of little white spots which he didn't know what to make

of; and when he tried to feel the place with one of his legs he

drew it quickly back because as soon as he touched it he was

overcome by a cold shudder.
