Thorn In The Heart

             “Why?”  Nguyen shut his book while he looked at Luat and
         asked.

             Luat started at Nguyen with a little smile on his corner lips.

             “Your  knowledge  was  ready  to  understand  what  Nguyen-
         Anh did for the Tay-Son after he had claimed the victory.”


             “Maybe my point of view was different your. I do not know
         what  were  you  thinking  of  Nguyen  Anh  action-reflection,  and
