4628. Perhaps the woman Coromo was in love with was already
married and happy raising children, probably he would never even see her again. Even if he did see her again she would just be some married woman he knew
some time ago, whom he had no right to have an interest in.
4629. And yet, for all that, what Coromo felt as he looked
at the sleeping stewardess was guilt, pure and simple. This was one of those
situations where you and I, his friends,would have wanted to sit him down at the dining
room table and give him a stern talking to.
4630. We would say to him, "Listen here Crow, stop
wasting your life mooning over a woman who probably never even loved you and
was just using you all along." I have neglected to mention that his few friends
called him Crow; he did not especially like the name, but he never
objected.
4631. If you are intending to give him that advice, you might
not even bother. If he had been thirty or forty years old he might have listened,
but he was just a little over twenty, it was his first love so it was likely to last twenty years.
