The sponsor."
The penultimate portion of the closing remarks: "In the event you may have missed a few Freudian overtones of our story, I should like to offer a brief explanation — Irenie Cole was a compulsive knitter with a Madame Lafarge {Madame Defarge} complex. Howard Cole was an extrovert who suffered from a regressive libido and Oedipus complex, schizophrenia and an extremely low sales resistance. Prince Burhan's sports car was obviously the symbol for his mother — he always wanted to drive her mad — and the accident wasn't caused by defective brakes at all — the automobile was psychosomatic, is a {has} since entered on analysis and is now well adjusted. I hope this makes everything clear. And now, before I return, my sponsor will indulge in a bit of symbolism of his own, for which I can offer no explanation." Final words: "I hope you enjoyed that. I know Freud would have. Join us again next week when we shall be back with another story. Goodnight." |
