Anyway, you met Dreverhaven
this afternoon.
:17:04
I assume it wasn't the first time
:17:07
Yes.
:17:09
Our move took us closer to him.
:17:12
By the harbour.
:17:15
Mother bought a sewing machine
to earn the rent.
:17:19
That house also had something that
was to play a major role later.
:17:50
The books were in
a foreign language...
:17:52
and the previous inhabitants had
moved abroad, so I could keep them.
:18:04
From then on it was easier to
be silent with her.
:18:09
I studied the wonderful pictures
for days...
:18:13
and the strange words
were less alien than I thought.
:18:24
Elephant.
:18:29
Elephant in English.
:18:36
My monther's eternal silence made me
think...she could not bear my company.
:18:43
Only later did I realise
our characters clashed.
:18:52
Our contacts were awkward and...
:18:56
...would always remain awkward,
because we were opposites.
