Just say "personal reasons" and no one asks a question and no one will care
Considering this was 1956, I would imagine "secret reasons" was used where we would use "personal reasons" today.
Or Mr. White was drunk.
Just write "reasons" like a normal person. smh
reasons
Finally someone normal on here.

Is this the EB White from rick and morty?
My reasons are classified
No needs no qualifiers

secret reasons world well if your field of work is related to spying
