"You were the only friend I had, and I loved Brett so."p. 198
"Well, so long."
"I guess it isn't any use. I guess it isn't any damn use."
"What?"
"Everything. Please say you forgive me, Jake."
"Sure, it's all right."
"I felt so terribly. I've been through such hell, Jake. Now everything's gone. Everything."
"Well, so long. I've got to go."
I drawn two important things from this: one, Jake doesn't really seem to care much. he doesn't explicitly forgive Cohn which either means that he was never offended by him OR that he can't forgive him yet, if ever.
the second thing, Cohn says he's lost EVERYTHING now... does that mean he's lost his wife, too? is he leaving her, the opposite?
I was suprised at how quickly Cohn begged, BEGGED, for forgiveness.
