10,582. CARRIERE

CARRIERE
'You're a strange man, Carriere,
and I can't quite figure you out.
You think you are Lewis and Clarke,
together. I can't pay you for your deeds,
but they are always good, I've noticed.
And there must be something for that. 
I knew a woman once, long ago. who
kept a skeleton in her front sitting room
to scare suitors off. It's something like
that, I think, what you do  - to others.
Their reactions are ordinary, but their
reasons are not. You scare them off.
