I told G.C. about Scott Fitzgerald and the quotation and asked him what he thought of it.
"Any hour can be a bad hour when you wake," he said. "I don't see why he picked three especially. It sounds quite good though."
"I think it is just fear and worry and remorse."
"We've both had enough of those haven't we?"
"Sure; to peddle. But I think what he meant was his conscience and despair."
"You don't ever despair do you, Ernie?"
"Not yet."
"You'd probably have it by now if you were going to have it."
"I've seen it close enough to touch it but I always turned it down."
