It may sound absurd in the face of the enormity of what I have done to him, but it is a great solace to me to be able to sacrifice that much to him and to drag him through my life like a ball and chain. Somehow it seems that I ought to suffer that." "Stuff and nonsense!
You'd say he must go away east or west to the sea for change of air to get well. That's nonsense, and it isn't necessary. You are absolutely wrong in your diagnosis if that's what you call it. He is going to stay here. You aren't going to drive away one of our boarders and take the bread out of our mouths. Anyhow, you're wrong.

You may think you are a great Rajah and I only a poor Malee, but I tell you that makes no difference at all to me. Though you were king of all the earth, I would not permit you to come here and amuse yourself chattering to my girl, only to fill her head with nonsense, and to break her heart."

If Kisotchka had laughed in response I should have gone on in this style: 'You had better look out, Kisotchka, or some officer or actor will be carrying you off! She would have dropped her eyes and said: 'As though anyone would care to carry me off; there are plenty younger and better looking . . . . And I should have said: 'Nonsense, Kisotchka I for one should be delighted! And so on in that style, and it would all have gone swimmingly.

"And for two?" he inquired softly. "More than enough." "Oh, nonsense, nonsense, nonsense!" "What! when I am engaged to you? Actions speak much louder than remarks, Mr. Archibald Hope. I love you more than I do money." "Angel! angel!" "You said that I was a woman just now. What do, you mean?"
