And if you were to enter Marlowe's room today, the fact that it is occupied may not be at first clear. Papers on the desk, yes. Books everywhere, some open and others bookmarked, yes. Bed made neatly, yes.
But occupied?
This is because Marlowe is on the ground, back against the wall and (ink-stained) hands pressed together against his mouth as if he is praying.
He isn't, of course.
He is, however, staring out into space with his eye slightly narrowed and very obviously not seeing anything in the room.
