Now: We will do as well as we can under the circumstances.

(Long pause, eyes closed.) These are like containers for behavior, however. For some time, as you became involved with the hospital and medical habits and people, Ruburt in particular grew very frightened. He began to look at his own experience—to some extent, now—through that medical cast. (Long pause.) He saw how unfortunate its results could be. You were both quite aware of the fact that to almost anyone else there is no blame attached to following such a premise.

Only by so doing could you clear the air and make your own decisions as to the course the rest of your lives would take. You are making the proper decisions now, but you needed your own complete cooperation—Ruburt in particular but you also.
