The
gentle
warning
on
the
exit
door
,
the
fact
that
there
were
no
windows
anywhere
in
the
Nest
,
the
womblike
comfort
of
the
Nest
itself
,
Patricia
’
s
lack
of
attire
plus
the
fact
that
she
had
suggested
(
but
not
insisted
)
that
he
do
likewise
–
all
added
up
to
an
unmistakable
pattern
of
habitual
domestic
nudity
?
among
people
who
were
all
at
least
nominally
his
own
"
water
brothers
,
"
even
though
he
had
not
met
most
of
them
.
He
had
seen
further
confirmation
in
addition
to
Patricia
,
whose
behavior
he
had
discounted
somewhat
from
a
vague
feeling
that
a
tattooed
lady
might
very
well
have
odd
habits
about
clothing
.
On
coming
into
the
living
room
they
had
passed
a
man
headed
the
other
way
,
toward
the
baths
and
the
note
2
–
and
he
had
worn
less
than
Patricia
by
one
snake
and
lots
of
pictures
.
He
had
greeted
them
with
"
Thou
art
God
"
and
gone
on
,
apparently
as
used
to
buff
as
Patricia
was
.
But
,
Ben
reminded
himself
,
this
"
brother
"
hadn
’
t
seemed
surprised
that
Ben
was
dressed
,
either
.
There
had
been
other
such
evidence
in
the
living
room
:
a
body
sprawled
face
down
on
a
couch
across
the
room
–
a
woman
,
Ben
thought
,
although
he
had
not
wanted
to
stare
after
a
quick
glance
had
shown
him
that
this
one
was
naked
,
too
.
Ben
Caxton
had
thought
himself
to
be
sophisticated
about
such
things
.
Swimming
without
suits
be
considered
only
sensible
.
He
knew
that
many
families
were
casually
naked
in
their
own
homes
–
and
this
was
a
family
,
of
sorts
–
although
he
himself
had
not
been
brought
up
in
the
custom
.
He
had
even
(
once
)
let
a
girl
invite
him
to
a
nudist
resort
,
and
it
had
not
troubled
him
especially
after
the
first
five
minutes
or
so
–
he
had
simply
regarded
it
as
a
silly
lot
of
trouble
to
go
to
for
the
dubious
pleasures
of
poison
ivy
,
scratches
,
and
an
all
-
over
sunburn
that
bad
put
him
in
bed
for
a
day
.
But
now
he
found
himself
balanced
in
perfect
indecision
,
unable
to
make
up
his
mind
between
the
probable
urbanity
of
removing
his
symbolic
fig
leaf
?
and
the
even
stronger
probability
–
certainty
he
decided
–
that
if
he
did
so
and
strangers
came
in
who
were
dressed
and
stayed
that
way
,
he
would
feel
all
-
fired
silly
.
Hell
,
he
might
even
blush
!
"
What
would
you
have
done
,
Jubal
?
"
Ben
demanded
.
Harshaw
lifted
his
eyebrows
.
"
Axe
you
expecting
me
to
be
shocked
,
Ben
?
I
have
seen
the
human
body
,
professionally
and
otherwise
,
for
most
of
a
century
.
It
is
often
pleasing
to
the
eye
,
frequently
most
depressing
and
never
significant
per
se
.
Only
in
the
subjective
value
the
viewer
places
on
the
sight
.
I
grok
Mike
runs
his
household
along
nudist
lines
.
Shall
I
cheer
?
Or
must
I
cry
?
Neither
.
It
leaves
me
unmoved
.
"
"
Damn
it
man
!
,
it
’
s
easy
for
you
to
sit
there
and
be
Olympian
about
it
–
you
weren
’
t
faced
with
the
choice
.
I
’
ve
never
seen
you
take
off
your
pants
in
company
.
"
"
Nor
are
you
likely
to
.
‘
Other
times
,
other
customs
.
’
But
I
grok
you
were
not
motivated
by
modesty
.
You
were
suffering
from
a
morbid
fear
of
appearing
ridiculous
–
a
well
-
known
phobia
with
a
long
,
pseudo
-
Greek
name
with
which
I
shall
not
bore
you
.
