Every day some new fact comes to light - some new obstacle which threatens the gravest obstruction. I suppose this is the reason which makes the game so well worth playing.

We took risks. We knew we took them. Things have come out against us. We have no cause for complaint.

To wait idly is the worst of conditions.

Life offers more than one chance, Cathy, you know that.
