"Yes, I'm pretty sure. It can't be right for anyone to be in that unnatural sort of state."

"I suppose it is unnatural. The queer thing is he looked so normal and commonplace. And happy - that's what I can't get over, Sebastian - happy... none of us are very happy, are we?" 

He couldn't answer that.
