The Last Two Weeks of Georges Rivac
“Asked if he was bound for Oxford, he replied that he was. The driver said that he himself was going to Oxford, but on the way wanted to see about some business at Waterperry which wouldn’t take a minute. Georges knew the little village and took it for granted that the business was with its horticultural station since there was nothing much else. The driver seemed reluctant to discuss horticulture, switching the conversation to his passenger on the excuse that he appeared familiar with the distr...ict.

Only then did it occur to him that he was on his guard against trusting anybody with his past but had impatiently trusted with his present the first person who came along.
