Peter Worthington: The Life of a Reporter

I regret, too, the nuisance for them of a funeral which they may hope will be well attended, but which I know won’t be, because I tend to be a loner who treated most people decently, but who never encouraged intimacy. My reservations are meaningless and will be ignored. Pity I wasn’t a drinker, then everyone could feel superior and forgive a weakness. (H/T: Peter Elikann)
