That she couldn't be trusted. That her mistake was too grave.] ...Even the people who almost caught me. And even the people who did catch me, [She adds, swallowing.]
...and right now-especially after everything that happened, I don't think I'm better off being only with animals at all..!
[...And, with an anxious now of the head-] ...sir!
