When he learns this cry was the sound of his wife's own death, he recited the soliloquy. NOTHING had surprised him, NOTHING could break him out of his angst. It was the Shakespeare version of "Dust in the Wind."
Ah... I am more of a David Baldacci, Lee Child kind of gal, but thanks for the explanation. TOTV does tend to get NOTHING but a little over dramatic. I tend to use ignore a lot and when I don't I am always sorry and vow not to do it again.
