He had come very close to death and it had shaken him out of his reserve. Bob had saved him and he wanted to thank him, to show his gratitude.,"Just look at that mournful creature."

How dare you say such a thing to me? You are cruel, cruel, and I have always known it, cold and cruel like all other men who don't care how they wring the life-blood out of women's hearts, and are willing to use their children to do it with. Even the law doesn't help us poor helpless creatures, and you can take our children and go with them to the ends of the earth and leave us suffering. I have gone on and believed that you were not like what the women say all men are, and that you cared whether you hurt people or not, but now I see that you are just the same, and you'll take my baby away if you want to—and I can do nothing to prevent it—nothing in the wide world—I am completely and absolutely helpless—you coward, you!","Where has Mona taken the duchess?" asks Lady Rodney of Sir Nicholas half an hour later.,“Mother dear, can’t you sell that fishing rod for me that I got from Uncle Isaac?”,Billy's right hand went into a trouser's pocket; then nervously his left dived into the other pocket.
