23 Old Master Is Dying

Finn Taylor sat at the door and lit a cigarette. 'Am I in the wrong? No, not at all.'

'Then, is Yvette Larson wrong? Is Francis Larson wrong? Or is Linda James wrong? No, none of them are wrong.'

Although he was capable of doing anything, he could do nothing more than endure the suffering now. However, even a saint would have an outburst eventually.

Before he finished his cigarette, Finn Taylor heard a quarrel breaking out within the house. By the sounds, he guessed that his wife was trying to open the door to let him in, but Francis Larson and Linda James refused.
