They lived in bombed-out rooms, scrounged for food on the streets. _They were filthy and they stank!_ The room was freezing cold, the _air_ was like ice, and suddenly the whole exercise seemed utterly meaningless. All I wanted was a hot bath and a good meal! [laughs maniacally] So I let them go. I gave them whatever latinum I had in my pockets, and opened the door, and _flung_ them back into the street. Elim couldn’t believe his eyes. He looked at me as if I were insane.” ---
