“…I was greatly pained, “why Herbert?” I queried myself as though I had the answer but I didn’t yet I asked and queried again and again, “Where are you Herbert?”

“I almost shouted, and then I realized it may seem awkward, then grief seized me again like a prisoner. I forgot I haven’t eaten from morning till about 4pm. I said to myself that I have to leave the campus immediately before I cry out loud and people would begin to wonder what it’s all about.”
