I
happened
to
glance
around
at
my
companion.
He
sat
there
looking
at
me
with
horror--fascinated
horror.
"Well,
I
won't
disturb
your
peace
of
mind
by
telling
that
story,"
I
said.
"Do
you
believe
that
we
shall
go
to
hell?"
he
asked
in
a
low
voice.
"That
depends,"
I
said.
"Let's
leave
out
the
question
of
'we';
let's
be
more
comfortably
general
in
our
discussion.
I
think
we
can
safely
say
that
some
go
and
some
do
not.
It's
a
curious
and
noteworthy
thing,"
I
said,
"but
I've
known
of
cases--There
are
some
people
who
aren't
really
worth
good
honest
tormenting--let
alone
the
rewards
of
heavenly
bliss.
They
just
haven't
anything
to
torment!
What
is
going
to
become
of
such
folks?
I
confess
I
don't
know.
You
remember
when
Dante
began
his
journey
into
the
infernal
regions----"
"I
don't
believe
a
word
of
that
Dante,"
he
interrupted
excitedly;
"it's
all
a
made
up
story.
There
isn't
a
word
of
truth
in
it;
it
is
a
blasphemous
book.
Let
me
read
you
what
I
say
about
it
in
here."
"I
will
agree
with
you
without
argument,"
I
said,
"that
it
is
not
all
true.
I
merely
wanted
to
speak
of
one
of
Dante's
experiences
as
an
illustration
of
the
point
I'm
making.
You
remember
that
almost
the
first
spirits
he
met
on
his
journey
were
those
who
had
never
done
anything
in
this
life
to
merit
either
heaven
or
hell.
That
always
struck
me
as
being
about
the
worst
plight
imaginable
for
a
human
being.
Think
of
a
creature
not
even
worth
good
honest
brimstone!"
