My God!" he cried. Then he was violently sick. He must have got into the club somehow from the back. I went over to him, intending to get him out of the room before he was sick again. He clutched my arm and held me tight. "Stop it," he said. "Stop it. Promise them anything, anything at all; only get them to stop." I did not quite know what Clithering wanted me to do.
I felt bad 'cause 'cause you said if I didn't stop cryin' and be a good girl, you wouldn' ever have anythin' to do with me any more. But I did stop, and I have been a good girl since, haven't I?" "Yes, oh, yes, you've been good since," bending down to tuck Polly in. As she stooped, Polly flung her arms around Jane's neck, and whispered, "Do you love me just the same, Jane?"
If she or any other woman had been in the doctor's place, she would have given the same answer. Mrs. Carteret did not stop to reason. In such a crisis a mother's heart usurps the place of intellect.

This farcical extreme at length persuaded even the obsessed magistrates to stop the tragic proceedings.
'What makes that noise? Hilda asked. 'That is Rumpty-Dudget cutting down the trees, Tom replied; 'and unless we can stop him he will cut down every one of them. However, he will hardly get so far as this to-night. Now, children, sit down and listen.
Why, if a man hain't got love enough for a woman when he is tryin' to win her affection, when he is on probation, as you may say, to stop and turn round in his downward course, how can she expect he will after he has got her, and has let down his watch, so to speak? But she loved him.
"But the more I read, and the more I think, the more it seems to me that anyone can be anything in this world; there's some queer rule that makes you rise if you want to rise, if only you don't compromise! The reason so many people DON'T ultimately get what they want is because they stop trying for it, and take something else!" "And marriage with me would be a compromise, is that it?"
