‘Fear’, she says, ‘can be a sickness, and you must not let it get its teeth too deep into you. A little fear, caution, awareness may keep you alive out there, a sense of whether a place is safe, whether a person may be on even… A little Fear only. But if you don't keep control, if you let it control you, you will give yourself away in the street by your wariness, or you will sit too tight, and be there like a plump duck for the hunters when you should have run.

"Who said that I love you?"
