OK. So Everard has lost his innocence but innocence still exists, in this case represented by the new Time Patrol recruit, Wanda Tamberly. Everard thinks:
" - Afterward, let him get on with his life, and she with her new one in the Patrol." (p. 7)
- which is what they do until, after a while, she asks him for help... Does Wanda lose her "innocence" in Beringia? It will be necessary to reread a few passages in that chapter.
Meanwhile, however, Everard, intent on pursuit of the Exaltationists, realizes:
"...that what he needed was not surcease but the completion of the hunt." (p. 8)
Not innocence but completion of the task at hand.

Kaor, Paul!
And Everard would also take great personal satisfaction in either eliminating or sending to the exile planet some very dangerous persons!
