"Without pausing even for salutation Inman said, Who put out your pair of eyes?
The blindman had a friendly smile on his face and he said, Nobody. I never had any.

"Inman sat up with the blanket around his waist. He had been living like a dead man and this was life before him, an offering within his reach." (pág 430)
