Glad you liked it. Personally, I was willing to believe Doyle really was the right man for the job, and that Cowley's self-incriminations were mostly attributable to feelings of guilt with respect to his envy. Of course, it could be both; Doyle is indeed the right man for this job, but not necessarily the only man for it, while Cowley's motives were less than clear. To my mind, Cowley is himself unable to distinguish between the two. No decision is taken entirely in a vacuum, after all - his own experiences and feelings, however much he tries (or not!) to govern them, will inevitably inform his choices, as is the case for everyone.
