She looked right there, he thought and could have cursed her for it.
This gave too much away, and he cursed himself for it.
After she had left the room he cursed himself for a fool.
He cursed for a time, which woke the others, and they came out of the place together.

All the way back he cursed himself for his neglect.
He guessed there were three or four, no, five, then cursed his own need for numbers.
He saw the surprise in her eyes and cursed himself for a fool.
I could see it all now and cursed myself for my blindness.
