“There was no possibility of taking a walk that day.”

“Take my love. One day share my life. Be my dearest, first on earth.”

“Lucy, take my love. One day share my life. Be my dearest, first on earth.”

“I never liked long walks”

“I'll walk where my own nature would be leading. It vexes me to choose another guide.”

“Je fais mon lit et mon ménage; I seek my dinner in a restaurant; my supper takes care, of itself; I pass days laborious and loveless; nights long and lonely; I am ferocious, and bearded and monkish; and nothing now living in this world loves me, except some old hearts worn like my own, and some few beings, impoverished, suffering, poor in purse and in spirit, whom the kingdoms of this world own not, but to whom a will and testament not to be disputed has bequeathed the kingdom of heaven.”

“To see and know the worst is to take from Fear her main advantage.”
