Page "fiction" Paragraph 78
from
Brown Corpus
Lawrence was waiting for Bill Boxell.
The Vice President had called and asked if he could see the Secretary at his home.
He said the matter was urgent.
The Secretary was uneasy about the visit.
He did not like Boxell.
He suspected something underhanded and furtive about him.
Lawrence could not put his finger on it precisely, and this worried him.
When you disliked or distrusted a man, you should have a reason.
Human nature was not a piece of meat you could tell was bad by its smell.
Lawrence stared a minute at the lighted ribbon of traffic, hoping that a clue to his dislike of the Vice President would appear.
It did not.
Therefore, he decided he was unfair to the young man and should make an effort to understand and sympathize with his point of view.
