Perhaps one should not enjoy being born in that city; even worse, he now thinks that he got the regular program of the good Roman Catholic by working there, and then in the period immediately after the war. He can still talk about it nicely: how - for example - he prayed to Mary on top of the oak bookcase with his bare knees on the waxed parquet. It is certain that he was already sunning his calling there. In the evening his father - a real schoolmaster - came to see if the son was sleeping with his hands neatly above the deck.
