Sir Apropos of Nothing-Peter David
The Wandering King Meander to Apropos:
"Every night, I work to expunge my brain of all memories, so that I can leave that particular story behind. In telling it to you, I hope that that might have cleansed it from my thoughts and recollections. But somehow...I suspect it won't. There are some things, you see, that you carry with you...no matter how far you wander."
