尽管他们的朋友爱他们和对他们的悲伤是一种伟大的慰藉，但最接近受苦的人必须受到任何可能在威胁时已经过度紧张神经的人或任何事物的保护，如果他们既不能被使用或被接受，也没有人有权受到伤害。在这样的时候，对于某些人来说，陪伴是一种安慰，有些人会从他们最亲爱的朋友那里收缩。
(Although the knowledge that their friends love them and sorrow for them is a great solace, the nearest afflicted must be protected from any one or anything which is likely to overstrain nerves already at the threatening point, and none have the right to feel hurt if they are told they can neither be of use or be received. At such a time, to some people companionship is a comfort, others shrink from their dearest friends.)
