“Villainessa Tittel was a hired killer, an assassin by trade. She had enjoyed the best education and had been trained by assassins who had (until then at least) been considered the best in the business. She had turned to ‘cleaning’ as an occupation because she really enjoyed endings more than beginnings – and anyway, she didn’t need to know her mark’s entire pedigree or life’s story, or to have some kind of facetious moral justification just to collect her fee. Unsurprisingly, when she did read – on those rare occasions – her books were always dog-eared from the back.”

“One day Samuel strained his back lifting a bale of hay, and it hurt his feelings more than his back, for he could not imagine a life in which Sam Hamilton was not privileged to lift a bale of hay. He felt insulted by his back, almost as he would have been if one of his children had been dishonest.
In King City, Dr. Tilson felt him over. The doctor grew more testy with his overworked years.
"You sprained your back."
"That I did," said Samuel.
"And you drove all the way in to have me tell you that you sprained your back and charge you two dollars?"
"Here's your two dollars."
"And you want to know what to do about it?"
"Sure I do."
"Don't sprain it any more. Now tak your money back. You're not a fool, Samuel, unless you're getting childish."
"But it hurts."
"Of course it hurts. How would you know it was strained if it didn't?"
Samuel laughed. "You're good for me," he said. "You're more than two dollars good for me. Keep the money."
The doctor looked closely at him. "I think you're telling the truth, Samuel. I'll keep the money.”
― John Steinbeck, East of Eden
