He had always lived at home -- in the rooms at the rear of the mission in Bickel Street , but he hated it . And since his eleventh year , during all of which time his family had been residing in Kansas City , he had been ashamed to bring boy friends to or near it . For that reason he had always avoided boy friends , and had walked and played very much alone -- or with his brother and sisters .
Он всегда жил дома — в комнатах в задней части миссии на Бикел-стрит, но ненавидел это. А с одиннадцатого года обучения, все это время его семья проживала в Канзас-Сити, ему было стыдно приводить сюда или рядом с ним друзей-мальчиков. По этой причине он всегда избегал друзей-мальчиков и много гулял и играл один — или со своими братом и сестрами.
