What will be an ideal response?
- The mother’s secret is that “at the center of her heart was a hard little place that could not feel love, no, not for anybody” (par. 1). Paul’s secret is that, by furiously riding his wooden rocking-horse, he is often able to predict which horses will win races. Bassett’s secret, and Uncle Oscar’s, is that they profit from Paul’s predictions, even while the boy is on his deathbed. Their winnings are kept secret. Paul gives his mother 5,000 pounds but does it anonymously. The house itself whispers a secret, “There must be more money” (par. 5, 6, 181). The three children hear the whisper, but no one talks about it.
