 For some years I lived in the desert. The English patient says, I learned everything I knew there. Everything that ever happened to me that was important happened in the desert.” He smiles at Hana. “One feeds me morphine. One feeds me condensed milk. We may have discovered a balanced diet!” He turns back to Kip. “How long have you been a sapper?” “Five years. Mostly in London. Then Italy. With the unexploded-bomb units.” “Who was your teacher?” “An Englishman in Woolwich.( He was considered eccentric.” “The best kind of teacher.) That must have been Lord Suffolk. Did you meet Miss Morden?” “Yes.” 


At no point does either of them attempt to make Hana comfortable in their conversation. But she wants to know about his teacher, and how he would describe him. “What was he like, Kip?” “He worked in Scientific Research. He was head of an experimental unit. Miss Morden, his secretary, was always with him, and his chauffeur 1, Mr. Fred Harts. Miss Morden would take notes, which he dictated 2 as he worked on a bomb, while Mr. Harts helped with the instruments.
