The giant said, "I have nothing to do but go home and fetch it," and thought it would be easy to take away by force from the weak man, what he would not give of his own free will.

"Where the apple is, the ring must be also," said the giant; "if thou wilt not give it of thine own accord, thou must fight with me for it."
In a second he was by her side, both of them balancing somewhat uncertainly on the top of the stone wall. "I won't let you down till you say it." "Please ". "No you love me?"

She covered her face with her hands, but she could not shut out the terrible image of advancing Death that held for her all the charm of a serpent's eye.

You may think me weak, Rachel, but I have a sort of yearning for family ties." "Why should I think you weak? It is a natural and I suppose a healthy feeling. I don't understand it myself because I never had any.
You know you told me that the weak minds have warm hearts and my mind must be very, very weak indeed, for my heart is very warm quite hot for my mother."
