Hidden beneath events are spiritual causes

Ickapoo needs friends. But company can come from divine origins as well.

In Graham Greene’s the End of the Affair, God is shown to be an omniscient presence whom the characters fail to escape even though they try to pretend that he does not exist. Bendrix is deeply jealous of Henry, whose wife Sarah had an affair with him in the past. However he could never persuade Sarah to leave Henry for him even though it was a loveless marriage. He hires a private detective Savage to find out what had happened in the two year interval since she had stopped seeing him, and discovers she has since had an affair with another man.
