“What I want to know is, why are you disappointed with me? Why have you left me alone this last fortnight?”
“I have already told you that I wanted to see you very intensely.”

“I can think of no satisfactory reason.”

“I mean what I say. I can think of no reason satisfactory to me—that satisfies me.”
“And aren’t there any reasons at all why a normal person might wish to see me’?”
“Arguing is quite useless if you accept as a hypothesis that I am a normal person.”
“Aren’t there any reasons at all, then, why you might want to come and see me?”
