'Now, John, she cried; for she was so quick that she always had my thoughts beforehand; 'why will you be backward, as if you cared not for me? Do you dream that I am doubting? My mind has been made up, good John, that you must be my husband, for well, I will not say how long, lest you should laugh at my folly. But I believe it was ever since you came, with your stockings off, and the loaches.
Mrs Gildea threw up her hands. 'Biddy, you haven't the faintest notion how dull and uncomfortable how utterly unpoetic how sordid the life of a struggling bushman can be. 'No! You know, Joan, I think that it might be perfectly fascinating if one really cared for the bushman. 'Really cared! Have you EVER really cared for any man? COULD you ever really care?

The loss of his money preyed upon his mind; he could not stand the humiliation of asking his wife, as he puts it, for twopence to take the omnibus. Mother did not care for father, she cared for some one else, and that of course made father's dependence still more humiliating.
