Quotable Quotes:
Pg. 144 Fear seized my stomach like a cramp. I didn’t care what I said to him now; it was myself I was worried about. For if Leper was psycho it was the army which had done it to him, and I and all of us were on the brink of the army. This is significant because it gives a good point why would he want to go to war if Leper came back and is not mentally stable anymore?
Pg. 177 The excellent exterior acoustics recorded his rushing steps and the quick rapping of his cane along the corridor and on the first steps of the marble stairway. Then these separate sounds collided into the general tumult of his body falling clumsily down the white marble stairs. This shows that Phineas was so angered that he rushed into the hallway and fell down the stairs. If Brinker had not set this whole confessional up this would have never happened.
