"Even if we win, it will be an end of this, and it is a pity that every beginning should also be an end. I shall miss the walking drum, Suzanne, miss it indeed. That drum has been our pulse, and often have I wondered what it is that starts the drum of a mans life to beating? For each of us walks to the beat of our own drum, an unheard rhythm to all our movements and thought."
