“To rage and mock is gentlemanly, to grumble and whine is not.”
“Why were they whining then?...whining, damn them, whining… Because they’d have to give up their hope of living like an animal and return to an honest, conscious, human life. The prospect was hard.”
“I know; I don't care to die either. But when whining mendeth nothing, wherefore whine?”
“Stop whining.”
“A gentleman will not insult me, and no man not a gentleman can insult me.”
“Still whining, Louis!”
