25.MRS HUBER: Oh don’t worry about it, Edie’s a beggar now, which means she can’t be a choosergoof course we don’t have to add salt to the wound.

28.As I watched Susan, I couldn’t help feeling sorry for her. She wanted so much to know why I did it. Why I killed myself. It’s not enough to want the truth. You must know where to look for it. And the truth is elusive, because it knows where to hide.
——can’t help doing sth情不自禁地做某事 /feel sorry for her感覺(jué)對(duì)不起她，替她難過(guò)/ the truth is elusive, because it knows where to hide.很精辟的話，真相總是難以琢磨，因?yàn)檎嫦嗌糜陔[藏。

-MRS HUBER: No, you’ve done more than enough. Truly.
