Excerpt:
Then she said something to which he listened deferentially, but which he
completely failed to understand. (Henry James)
She thought to herself, she actually said these words, "The thing
about mothering an eighteen year old boy is that a moment comes when
he's just a boy and you're just a woman." Then she said, "God! Did I
think that? What am I saying to myself?" The thought was unthinkable,
and so she took a very deep breath of the sharp piney air to unthink it,
but then she knew only the thought that a thought was unthinkable was
unthinkable.
