"He entertained these thoughts awkwardly, as a man……" — Neil Gaiman
"He entertained these thoughts awkwardly, as a man entertains unexpected guests. Then, as he reached his objective, he pushed these thoughts away, as a man apologizes to his guests, and leaves them, muttering something about a prior engagement."
