"But there's a horse, my darling old Mabel Minerva – I can't go without saying good-bye to Mabel Minerva" (13.2).
It's much easier for Holly to form attachments to animals than to people. This horse is her friend, a thing she loves and holds dear to her heart.
Quote 11
"If I do feel guilty, I guess it's because I let him go on dreaming when I wasn't dreaming a bit" (4.51).
This is Holly's take on why she didn't pursue her Hollywood career. It's not that she wasn't thinking about her future; she just knew that being in Hollywood wasn't her dream – it was O.J.'s dream for her.
Quote 12
"I don't want to own anything until I know I've found the place where me and things belong to each other. I'm not quite sure where that is just yet. But I know what it's like" (4.52).
This is Holly's big hope for her life – to find a place where she feels she belongs. She doesn't know where this place is, but she's confident it's out there and she knows how she'll feel when she finds it.
