one of them was fate , one of them was life , and another was death . i was told as he moved back from the table with his eyes on the cue . you must not see so much of him . hell 's bells , he had been dropped right in it ! he pours her a glass , hands it to her . she did n't take anything he said personally . a few days later , i kept awake on purpose , keeping my ear pressed to the door hoping id hear something , anything .
