START: I was so stupid, I’m still ashamed of it...I mentioned it to my father--who loved Phillip--and he took him aside and tried to suggest a doctor. I should never have mentioned it, it was a terrible mistake.
[...]
END: But I can’t help it, I still pity him; because I know how it tortures him, it’s like a snake eating into his heart...I mean it’s not as though he doesn’t like me, he does, I know it. ---Or do you think so?
