Was the soul put in the body to think up traps, fraud, and injustice? I don't think so.
Tertullian

It has long been a tradition among novel writers that a book must end by everybody getting just what they wanted, or if the conventional happy ending was impossible, then it must be a tragedy in which one or both should die.
