Maybe Larry was wrong about the word friend, maybe he’d been shoved away from everybody for so long all he was was a sponge for the wrongs other people did. Maybe, after all this time, he’d started to believe their version of him.

तभी, ऐलिस ने एक-एक करके अपने दोनों हाथ कोट की आस्तीनों में डाले और ऊपर से नीचे तक उसके सारे बटन लगा लिए। साइलास उसके पीछे-पीछे चल रहा था, और उसे अब भी यह समझ नहीं आ रहा था कि वह कोट हार, शर्म, लाचारी और नाउम्मीदी का कितना बड़ा प्रतीक था। उसकी समझ की इन कमियों के चलते, उसे यह साफ़-साफ़ दिखाई दे रहा था कि कैसे वह लड़का बड़ा होकर आज ऐसा आदमी बन गया था।
At some point, Alice slipped one arm and then the other into the coat’s sleeves, she buttoned its buttons, starting at the top. Silas had followed her, still not seeing what an emblem of defeat, shame, loss, hopelessness, the coat was.

तलाक में मेरी एक्स-पत्नी को सब कुछ मिल गया। यहाँ तक कि उसने अपना आपा भी नहीं खोया।

अंकल कॉलिन के शाकाहारी होने से लैरी के पिता को इतनी खीझ नहीं होती थी जितनी सीट बेल्ट से होती थी, क्योंकि भले ही उसके पिता ने कभी खुलकर यह कहा नहीं था, लेकिन लैरी जानता था कि वे सीट बेल्ट पहनने को कायरता मानते थे।

वह एक ऐसे इंसान थे, जिन्हें जितना ज़्यादा आप जानते, वे उतने ही ज़्यादा आकर्षक लगते थे। इसके विपरीत, जेसी तो ऐसा था कि शेल्फ से उतारते ही उसकी चमक फीकी पड़ने लगती थी।
