I’ve been telling myself that since the night we heard the child say it. I lie in bed night after night praying that it isn't true. But I know about it now. It’s there.
[...]
She found the one lie with the ounce of truth. I guess they always do. I’ve ruined your life and I’ve ruined my own. I swear I didn’t know it, I swear I didn’t mean it--- . Oh, I feel so God-damned sick and dirty--I can’t stand it anymore.
Hellman. Lillian. The Children’s Hour, Dramatists Play Service, Inc., 1934, pp. 66-67.
