 he had no place in the scheme of things

 Now what was the matter with that man?" l asked myself, and after some thought on the subject I came to the conclusion that he was one of the large army of poor misguided men (and women, too for that matter) in this big, old busy world whom my friend had pointed out as being a replica of MT.

 Alas! that it should be so-but that it is the case we cannot deny.
