Unlike Chicago or New York, small-town Minnesota did not allow a man's failings to disappear beneath a veil of numbers. People talked. Secrets did not stay secret.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You know there are no secrets in America. It's quite different in England, where people think of a secret as a shared relation between two people.
I actually think that secrets are just a part of human nature and that everybody should have some.

I think, I would guess most people keep secrets.
We all have secrets. We've all kept secrets. We've had secrets kept from us, and we know how that feels.

None are so fond of secrets as those who do not mean to keep them.
In those days secrets were well kept.
There are no secrets better kept than the secrets everybody guesses.
