What was to be done?
In the first place he must get away and think about it all, think
himself clear of all these--these immediacies, these associations
and relations and holds and habits. He must get back to his vision,
get back to the God in his vision. And to do that he must go alone.
He was clear he must go alone. It was useless to go to Prothero,
one weak man going to a weaker. Prothero he was convinced could
help him not at all, and the strange thing is that this conviction
had come to him and had established itself incontestably because of
that figure at the street corner, which had for just one moment
resembled Prothero. By some fantastic intuition Benham knew that
Prothero would not only participate but excuse. And he knew that he
himself could endure no excuses. He must cut clear of any
possibility of qualification. This thing had to be stopped. He
must get away, he must get free, he must get clean. In the
extravagance of his reaction Benham felt that he could endure
nothing but solitary places and to sleep under the open sky.
