A little tired, perhaps. But I feel peaceful. Your success in the ring this morning was, to a small degree, my success. Your future is assured. You will live, secure and safe, Wilbur. Nothing can harm you now. These autumn days will shorten and grow cold. The leaves will shake loose from the trees and fall. Christmas will come, then the snows of winter. You will live to enjoy the beauty of the frozen world, for you mean a great deal to Zuckerman and he will not harm you, ever.

最感动自己的 还是夏洛特与威伯之间 那种不随着时间流逝反因挂念而愈加浓烈的感情。“我会做你的朋友,你醒过来,睁开眼睛,就会看见我。”出自真诚 归于挚爱 才有如此的笃定。从未轻言过 做朋友是容易的事 我从不敢看轻。
