" I realised Larkin was crying. It shook me to see it. And, though I know what you’re thinking, it didn’t diminish him in any way. I’d known from the first moment I saw him he was an emotionally vulnerable man. He didn’t falter in his duty for a moment. He kept up the pace, covered all the angles he was asked to. He didn’t even seem to be aware that he was crying. But he wept. "
