When ann asked if they still talk about her father
Keller tells Ann how he faced all the neighbours when he was acquitted. He came out of his car and walked slowly down the street with a smile on his face. In their eyes he was a beast! He was the person who sold cracked cylinder heads of the P40 to the U.S.A. Air Force; the person who made twenty-one P-40 planes crash in Australia, causing twenty-one young pilots to die. Walking down the street they thought him guilty, but he wasn’t, and he had a paper from court declaring him innocent. Fourteen months later he had one of the best shops in the state and became a respected man again, bigger than ever. He could not be responsible and could not face himself with truth. He seemed to be unconscious of his guilt.
