Not a word I say has the smallest effect." "Because, father " "No, Frances, I won't listen to any of your 'becauses. But never, never again even profess to care for your father. Don't waste words, my child; for words are empty when they are not followed by deeds." "I must take an answer to Mr. Spens to-day," said Fluff. "Perhaps, if Frances thought a little, she would change her mind."
"Well, we are and we en't, eh, mateys? The Waterman's Rest en't exactly the kind of place to spend shore leave; it en't a patch on Wapping or Rotherhithe. And to tell 'ee true, we're dead sick of it. But there's reasons; there mostly is; and the whys and wherefores, therefores and becauses, I dessay you know, young gen'lman, acomin' from Captain Barker." "The press gang?"
The belief of a God, so far from having anything of mystery in it, is of all beliefs the most easy, becauses it arises to us out of necessity. And the practice of moral truth, or, in other words, a practical imitation of the goodness of God, is no other than our acting towards each other as he acts benignly towards all.
But when he looked into her sad eyes his soul melted. She smiled with her face close to his. "Pop, you never meddled in my affairs before. Don't you reckon I'll manage this one all right." "Why, yes, Fan. I was only anxious about you because " "Never mind your becauses, dear. Just say you'll make it all right with John." "Go to bed, Fannie; go to bed; John and I will take care of ourselves."
It is as difficult to define, as impossible to imprison between the limits of motives and reasons, of "Whys" and "becauses," as Loving. I liked Howard, or rather I liked his society, which is not the same thing.

He would never have cried out in an outburst of pious humility: "Thy ways, O Lord, are past finding out." He said to himself: "I am the servant of God; it is right for me to know the reason of His deeds, or to guess it if I do not know it." Everything in nature seemed to him to have been created in accordance with an admirable and absolute logic. The "whys" and "becauses" always balanced.
"Let me tell you, in the first place, that we shall probably make the port before our situation becomes apparently worse, that we do not take to the boats, because we are twice too many to fill them, owing to the Belle Voyageuse, and because it might excite mutiny, and for several other becauses, that every one is on deck, Capua consoling Ursule, the captain having told to each, personally, the possibility of escape"
I should if ah, those "ifs," those "becauses," and those "buts"! My mind became full of them, they bristled with illnesses and accidents, and I began to weep. My poor little travelling companion began to weep too. Finally we came within sight of Homburg. Twenty more minutes of this turning of wheels and we should enter the station.
"Becauses don't go," he said. "Not with a girl like you; they might with some. What do you want me to go back for?" "Well, I want you to go because I want to clear things up, about Johnny Croft. It's time it was cleared up." Art regarded her fixedly. "Well, I don't see yet what's back of that first BECAUSE," he sparred. "There's nothing I can do to clear up anything."
"Going to run away becauses mother is always scolding you?" "No, you little silly! I'm going up to Caddagat to live with grannie." "Always?" "Yes." "Really?" "Yes." "Honour bright?" "Yes; really and truly and honour bright." "Won't you ever come back again?" "I don't know about never coming back again; but I'm going up for always, as far as a person can lay out ahead of her. Do you care?"
