He knew, and if he were to keep on thinking about it-but he was afraid / to think. You could go mad, thinking. The moment of his certainty / remained in his memory; he knew where to find it if he chose to look / that way. But he refused to look. Such things were better forgotten.
He told himself there was nothing in it. Nothing but Nurse Eden's / hysteria and vanity. She wanted you to believe she was wonderful, that / she could do things. She didn't really believe it herself. In her own / last moment of honesty she had confessed as much. He was a fool to have / been taken in by her.
