Neville's seven-year ascetic regime ends overnight

In his twenties, having already fathered a son and known the love of a woman, Neville swore himself to celibacy, vegetarianism, no alcohol and no smoking for seven years, believing violence to the body was "the way"; as a touring professional dancer he sent back any soup containing beef stock, and the whole regime vanished overnight when God called him and showed him nothing was unclean.
