他再也没有谈论过那天晚上，而不是与您的母亲，而不是其他任何人。他为她，米奇（Mickey）为自己感到羞耻。在医院里，他完全停止说话。沉默是他的逃脱，但沉默很少是避难所。他的想法仍然困扰着他。
(He never spoke of that night again, not to your mother, not to anyone else. He was ashamed for her, for Mickey, for himself. In the hospital, he stopped speaking altogether. Silence was his escape, but silence is rarely a refuge. His thoughts still haunted him.'~pg 139)
