"Alexia merasa kehamilan relatif dapat dikendalikan, sampai batas tertentu. Hal itu terjadi sekitar tiga minggu yang lalu, di mana saat ini cadangan alami kontrolnya berubah menjadi sentimentalitas. Baru kemarin dia selesai sarapan terisak-isak di atas telur goreng karena mereka memandangnya lucu. Bungkusan itu menghabiskan waktu setengah jam untuk menemukan cara untuk menenangkannya. Suaminya begitu khawatir sehingga dia tampak mulai menangis sendiri."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Alexia had found pregnancy relatively manageable, up to a point. That point having been some three weeks ago, at which juncture her natural reserves of control gave way to sentimentality. Only yesterday she had ended breakfast sobbing over the fried eggs because they looked at her funny. The pack had spent a good half hour trying to find a way to pacify her. Her husband was so worried he looked to start crying himself.
