Moses was the acting principal of a Catholic High School for many years and he went to England for further studies. He came back after his studies to take up his former post, but the man he entrusted the school to and imposed him on the school and the governing body refused to give up the chair. The man being an in-breed of the inner world of the Catholic Mission and his wife being the secretary general of the Catholic Women's league has become a bone in Moses throat. The Catholic Mission is now firmly behind their own man against Moses a liberal catholic. Mr. Gabello has glued the mouth of every official with pregnant envelopes the cultural artifact and blood cancer in the country while Moses was away. Moses comes back and every door is now firmly closed before him, bribery has taken its toll. Moses returned to England to become a refugee but back in England, he is again overwhelmed by a succession of disappointments that never seem to come to an end.
