Reader's Digest三月号の記事 'THE DRIVE OF HIS LIFE, a cabbie, his kidknapper, and the unlikely conncection that redeemed them' からの引用です。
Ma was terrified. But Nayeri did not grab the gun and shoot the cabdriver. He did not haul the old man outside and, in the shadows of the motel, slit his throat. Nayeri simply retreated to a corner. For another night, the four watched one another and, as they went to bed, stewed in the frustration that filled the room.
