Afraid I wouldn't understand? Why, I understood only too well. It was mother that wouldn't have understood. I'd have cut my hand off rather than tell her.
Margaret
Well, she did understand. She understood better than you did. She understood that part of him hadn't grown up. He was like a boy. He just walked into things....
Roger
How did he ever come to tell her?
Margaret
Once when he was sick. Your mother was taking care of him. He blurted it all out, like a homesick boy.
Roger
And she understood? Didn't break her heart, and all that?
