原音重现：

N: Loaded up with bizarre forms of chocolate, their letters flew thick and fast between the continents. Max learnt to read Mary's letters with caution. And at the slightest tingle of tension, he would stop, take his medication and soothe his nerves. For each letter, he would iron, laminate and file in a special place, which also soothed his nerves.
信件里装着奇形怪状的巧克力，他们的信件密集穿梭在两个大陆之间，Max用心读着Mary的信，当他感到轻微刺痛的时候，就停下来，吃药来减轻神经痛。每一封信他都会熨烫，压平，保存在一个特别的地方，这同样也减轻了他的神经痛。
