Bernard gave a diffident shrug

'If I can' he admitted and voicing it reminded him that he was not perhaps as bitter as could be. 'It doesn't always help.' he explained, and his interference usually began and ended with a shout or call and he wasn't really someone to take heroic efforts to save someone from a disaster - it had backfired far too often - either it had made no difference or worse when his intervention caused the disaster!

The young man looked like a helper - someone who would bend over backwards to change the fates design 'Not always a point in fighting fate, what about you? Or are yours of a more chipper nature?'
