Summary:
John Irving is a man, conflicted; by his duty, his needs, his desires, and his place among the men. He finds some comfort on Sundays, when he hosts a small study for himself and the men. It may be a poor imitation of Sir John's Divine Services, but there is a distinct shift when Seaman Hartnell joins him one Sunday in late November.
