莫法特夫人握住了她的手,为了安慰,他们沉默了一段时间。有时,似乎世界本身就被打破了,我们所有人都出了点问题,这是这样打破的,以至于它可能不会再将其放在一起。但是,握住人的手可以帮助世界的手握住,这可能会使世界看起来不那么破碎。(Mrs. Moffat had taken her hand, for comfort, and they had sat there in silence for a while. Sometimes it seemed as if the world itself was broken, that there was something wrong with all of us, something broken in such a way that it might not be put together again; but the holding of hands, human hand in human hand, could help, could make the world seem less broken.)
