What Are Men Most Afraid Of?

Nothing that any landlady could do had a real terror for him. He would creep down the stairs like a cat and slip out unseen. But on coming out into the street, he became acutely aware of his fears. I went to attempt a thing like that and am frightened by these trifles,. Hm. Yes, all is in a man's hands, and he lets it all slip from cowardice. That's an axiom. It would be interesting to know what it is men are most afraid of. Taking a new step, uttering a new word, is what they fear most. Or perhaps it is that I chatter because I do nothing.
