Arriving anonymously at a Congo leper village, he is diagnosed as the mental equivalent of "a burnt-out case," a leper who has gone through a stage of mutilation. However, as Querry loses himself in work for the lepers, his disease of mine slowly subsides. Then the white community finds out who Querry really is.
