Looking back on it, Sloat wasn't sure how he had tolerated Phil Sawyer for as long as he had.

The paranoia and claustrophobia of hidden love.
It was miraculous. It was almost no trick at all, he saw, to turn vice into virtue and slander into truth, impotence into abstinence, arrogance into humility, plunder into philanthropy, thievery into honor, blasphemy into wisdom, brutality into patriotism, and sadism into justice.
