Reflections in a golden eye

Captain Penderton was in no comfortable state of mind this evening. On coming into the house he went straight to the study. This was a small room planned originally as a sun porch and leading from the dinner room. The Captain settled himself at his desk and opened a thick notebook. He spread out a map before him and took his slide rule from a drawer. In spite of these preparations he was unable to put his mind to his work. He leaned over his desk with his head in his hands and his eyes closed.

In part his restlessness was caused by his annoyance with Private Williams. He had been irritated when he saw that it was this particular soldier who had been sent him. There were perhaps only half a dozen enlisted men on all the post whose face was familiar to the Captain. He looked on all soldiers with bored contempt. To him officers and men might belong to the same biological genus, but they were of an altogether different species. The Captain well-remembered the accident of the spilled coffee, as it had ruined for him a brand new outfit. The suit was of heavy Chinese silk and the stain had never been entirely removed. Aside from this grievance Private Williams was associated in the Captain’s mind with the stables and his wife’s horse, an unpleasant association.

Sitting at his desk the Captain indulged in a brief daydream and it consoled him a little. He poured himself a cup of tea from the thermos bottle on his desk and became absorbed in other worriers. (by C.McCullers)
