Quote #10
On the night he had left Felden, he struck out across country, heading generally south. He trudged without a halt until daybreak. Even then he did not stop until some hours later when his legs gave out. He had made up his mind not to think of Mickle, the count, Musket, or anything connected with them. In consequence, he thought of nothing else. Mickle's absence crept over him like a toothache: at first ignored, then denied, then taking command altogether. (12.4)
Once again, Theo strikes out on his own, this time voluntarily, leaving Las Bombas and Mickle behind for moral reasons. But this time, freedom isn't all it's cracked up to be. He can walk off on his high horse, but that doesn't make his journey—or denying his feelings—any easier.
