"Oh I used to be of your way of feeling," Nash went on to Sherringham. "I understand you perfectly. It's a phase like another.
It would do very well and would give her the benefit of the prepossessing fact that to the best of my belief at least she's more than half a Jewess." "It is as good as Rachel Felix," Sherringham said. "The name's as good, but not the talent. The girl's splendidly stupid." "And more than half a Jewess? Don't you believe it!" Sherringham laughed.

"Camille doesn't squat down on the floor in the middle of them. "For grief is proud and makes his owner stoop. To me and to the state of my great grief Let kings assemble," Miriam quickly declaimed. "Ah if you don't feel the way she makes a throne of it!" "It's really tremendously fine, chère madame," Sherringham said. "There's nothing like it."

"The head's very noble," said Peter Sherringham. "And the voice, when she spoke English, had some sweet tones." "Ah your English possibly! All I can say is that I listened to her conscientiously, and I didn't perceive in what she did a single nuance, a single inflexion or intention. But not one, mon cher.
