"It was one of the few ironic remarks Phineas ever made, and with it he quietly brought to a close all his special inventions which had carried us through the winter. Now the facts were re-established, and gone were al the fantasies, such as the Olympic Games for A.d. 1944, closed before they had ever been opened"(158).
I think this is a very important quote in this chapter. It shows how much Finny has really changed since his leg incident. Before, Finny never used irony, but now, he does. It also shows that Finny actually knew the war was going on even though he refused to admit it. This quote also provides a transition to a more serious Phineas.
Does Phineas want to join the war?
