What the child feels when the mother goes away with a strange man.
What the carpenter feels when overcome by giddiness, the symptoms of age.
What the painter feels when the model no longer arrives and the picture is unfinished.
What the physicist feels when he discovers a mistake made early on in the series of experiments.
What the flier feels when the oil pressure drops over the mountains.
What the plane would feel, if it could feel, when the pilot got drunk.
