GRGR(5): Pudding & human respect

[Lorentzen / Nicklaus]

 "But isn't this- (...) Isn't it all rather shabby, Pointsman? Meddling with   
  another man's mind this way? (...) We can't, Pointsman, it's beastly. (...)Do 
  we have to do it because the Americans do it? Must we allow them to corrupt   
  US?" (p. 83f; pointing out, no capitalization)

 

 One of the clearest pleadings for human respect in the whole book. The   
 clearness of the statement is pointed out by the drama-like style of dialogue.

  Why here? Why without ambivalence? Why Pudding?
