Plainly, I am authorized to offer you Mr. Inglesby's heart, his hand, and his check-book.
The day wore away not unpleasantly, but when the gas was lighted and the bride frankly rested her head upon the bridegroom's shoulder, a mighty homesickness swept over Frieda. She could barely choke down her food in the dining-car, and hated a waiter for watching her with a white-toothed smile.
Thereupon Connor laid siege to the white-toothed, wild-bearded Sikh with words which suddenly came to renown, and left not a shred of glory to the garment of vanity the hillman wore.

They hated her with the hate of an Italian for an outlander with the hate of an Italian for a woman who works with her brain with the hate of an Italian who sees another taking the bread out of his mouth.
"Aside from the regret and horror and shame that I feel to have survived when every woman drowned, I confess to that feeling too. Women keep up the standards of life.
