“She’s got the shroud again. She’s unfolding it. She’s coming out of the corner. She’s coming to the bed. Hold me, both on you—one of each side—don’t let her touch me with it. Hah! she missed me that time. Don’t let her throw it over my shoulders. Don’t let her lift me up to get it round me. She’s lifting me up. Keep me down.”
Arthur
“Bear in mind then, that Brag is a good dog, but Holdfast is a better.”
Jaggers
“I see so much in my poor mother, of a woman drudging and slaving and breaking her honest hart and never getting no peace in her mortal days, that I’m dead afeerd of going wrong in the way of not doing what’s right by a woman.”
Joe
“She’s a shaking the shroud at me! Don’t you see her? Look at her eyes! Ain’t it awful to see her so mad?”
Arthur
“Life is made of ever so many partings welded together, as I may say, and one man’s a blacksmith, and one’s a whitesmith, and one’s a goldsmith, and one’s a coppersmith. Diwisions among such must come, and must be met as they come. If there’s been any fault at all to-day, it’s mine. You and me is not two figures to be together in London.”
Joe
“I wouldn’t lend one of you a sixpence. I wouldn’t lend anybody a sixpence.”
Drummle
“She’s standing in the corner at the foot of the bed, awful mad. And over where her heart’s broke—you broke it!—there’s drops of blood.”
Arthur
“I’m rather partial to Carols, myself, and that’s the best of reasons for my never hearing any.”
Mrs. Joe
“God knows you’re welcome to it,—so far as it was. We don’t know what you have done, but we wouldn’t have you starved to death for it.”
Joe
“Ask no questions, and you’ll be told no lies.”
Mrs. Joe
“Now look here my man. Get out of this office. I’ll have no feelings here. Get out.”
Jaggers
“I am going out for a ride in the saddle. I mean to explore those marshes for amusement.”
Drummle
“Don’t commit yourself and don’t commit any one. You understand—any one. Don’t tell me anything: I don’t want to know anything; I am not curious.”
Jaggers
“Tell me directly what you’ve been doing to wear me away with fret and fright and worrit.”
Mrs. Joe
“Sally, she really is upstairs alonger me, now, and I can’t get rid of her. She’s all in white,’ he says, ‘wi’ white flowers in her hair, and she’s awful mad, and she’s got a shroud hanging over her arm, and she says she’ll put it on me at five in the morning.”
Arthur
“[Estella] of Richmond, gentlemen, putting me out of the question, and a peerless beauty.”
