“What if it's just a big, cosmic joke?Then...laugh!.85.”
“I’ve always thought that a big laugh is a really loud noise from the soul saying “Ain’t that the truth”
“no matter how big his smile or how loud his laugh, you could hear the hurt underneath.”
“If life is a joke, let us play it.”
“We laugh. Bec stares at us uncertainly, then joins in. She sounds a bit like Bill-E when she laughs, and for a few happy moments it's as if me, my brother and uncle are together again, relaxing in Dervish's study, sharing a joke, not a care in the world.”
