Quote: "The moment was past. Phineas I know had been even more startled than I to discover this bitterness in himself. Neither of us ever mentioned it again, and neither of us ever forgot that it was there." (117)
Significance:
This quote pops out as a piece of foreshadowing. It not only shows that Gene's good times with Finny are just about over, but it also shows that the bad times are sure to come. Phineas' "accident" obviously left him with a few kinks in his cheery armor, just enough to allow bitterness to seep through. Clearly, Gene and Phineas are about to enter some rough times
Question: Will Phineas cause trouble for Gene, or will it be the other way around?
