It is the mean, nasty, low spirit of jealousy that matters.
"He has betrayed himself! And didn't I get round him cleverly! Regularly caught him flapping " "And he doesn't deny the woman in the black dress!" exulted Dukovski. "But all the same, that safety match is tormenting me frightfully. I can't stand it any longer. Good-by! I am off!" Dukovski put on his cap and drove off. Chubikoff began to examine Aquilina.

Why should I think about something that does not exist as yet? I never look before or behind. Isn't one day at a time more than I can concern myself with as it is? And besides, the future, as we know, means the hospital." "How can you forsee a future in the hospital, and make no effort to avert it?" "What is there so alarming about the hospital?" asked the terrific Aquilina.
He looked at the porter the porter went; he looked at Jenny and Jenny went likewise. "Madame," said Melmoth, turning to Aquilina, "with your permission, we will conclude a piece of urgent business." He took Castanier's hand, and Castanier rose, and the two men went into the drawing-room. There was no light in the room, but Melmoth's eyes lit up the thickest darkness.
