"An' Oi looked in 'em long for Oi loved him an' was glad. 'Cause Oi know'd Captain Fronte McKim was seein' hell an' enjoyin' it."

I don't really care about anything. Except that " "You don't care about anything? But what is that for a life?" cried the Marchese, with a hollow mockery. "What do YOU care for?" asked Lilly. "Me? I care for several things. I care for my wife. I care for love. And I care to be loved. And I care for some pleasures. And I care for music. And I care for Italy."

And here he was now having lived all these years and come all this way without having truly loved. Now, behold Suzanne Dale with her perfection of soul and body, and he was wild about her not for lust, but for love.
