"The man who isn't Snead is leaving," Linton said, describing the scene over Howell's shoulder. "Snead came to Greta's funeral. "Oh, well, 'dead,'" Howell replied. He had known what he sincerely felt to be a genuine affection for Greta. Even after they had let him out of the asylum as cured, he still secretly believed he had known a genuine affection for her. Linton asked, thinking: God? But by saying something so patently ridiculous, Linton hoped to bring the contradicting truth to the surface immediately. "But it's wonderful," Linton said, thinking his immediate thoughts. "Look, Frank, you can't legalize a thing like resurrection," Howell said with feigned patience. Death is their whole life. "There are a lot of fakes and quacks in the resurrection business. When the cops find out about a place, they break in, smash all the equipment and arrest everybody in sight. The charges, if any, come under general vice classification." You want to shock somebody, you tell him, 'You're going to be dead someday,' not anything sexual.
