And dimly she realized one of the great laws of the human soul: that when the emotional soul receives a wounding shock, which does not kill the body, the soul seems to recover as the body recovers. But this is only appearance. It is really only the mechanism of the reassumed habit.

And when we think we have recovered and forgotten, it is then that the terrible after-effects have to be encountered at their worst.
Folks should do their own fuckin', then they wouldn't want to listen to a lot of clatfart about another man's.
