> [@RiCoCheT](#): > > the fact he has admitted to telling white lies I don’t know a single human being who could admit to that. eg: sees an aquaintance is wearing a new outfit and is very happy and proud of it, but the colour makes them look ill. What do you say? “Oh new outfit!” or “Nice outfit!” or “That outfit makes you look sick.” “You look so happy in that outfit.” You don’t want to hurt their feelings, so you do the “white lie” thing. And maybe later let them down gently. Yes/No? ---

That part made me wonder what the ‘loud crack’ could be. If it would be the thunder, then why would you hear that first to see the strike after? ---

The strike itself makes noise as well, if the bolt is near you, the thunder would be instantaneous, after all it’s literally displaced air due to it being super-heated in an instant ---

Yeah, I guess it would be the barn actually getting hit. Edit: I don’t know. If you remember it all so vividly, I would likely mention the strike first. ---

I once saw a building about 100 yards away take a lightning strike. And yes, the flash and the bang are pretty much simultaneous. But you don’t hear a crack - it’s more like a bomb going off if you’re close to it. But maybe A&S don’t know that. ---

His father needed the lamp. His mother asked him to go get it and bring it to his father who had gone out to the barn. He had to find it first though. For some reason he feels guilty over not having brought the lamp to his dad. Or maybe he is trying to suppress the event by fixation on something else. This lamp or the fixation it stands for may certainly be the clue we need. For some reason Alexander tells the story as if the fire could have been prevented if he found the lamp sooner. ---
