- He drops a few hints along the way to suggest that he has received an especially severe beating, perhaps the worst one of his life: “I moved in a silence that was more complete than any silence I had ever known. I was a ghost fighting ghosts” (par. 107); “‘Man! Man!’ he said…. ‘Them lads sure—God!—have worked you over! You got a face like a wet geranium!’ I didn’t laugh. It wasn’t funny” (par. 117–118). But even though some of his descriptions of the fight are heightened, even poetic, in contrast to the straightforward narrative style of the rest of the story, he displays very little overt feeling in response to the situation. This beating may be worse than usual, but overall he gives the impression that this sort of thing is a professional hazard, all in a day’s work. He also gives the impression of being rather stoical by nature, accepting of the nature of things, and in control of his emotions.
