“I don’t deserve your kindness. I am a worthless creature,” said Maximov, with tears in his voice. “You would do better to spend your kindness on people of more use than me.” “Ech, every one is of use, Maximushka, and how can we tell who’s of most use? If only that Pole didn’t exist, Alyosha. He’s taken it into his head to fall ill, too, to-day. I’ve been to see him also.

One comfort, you haven’t been much about with me. I notice you’ve never been inside my house. Own up now; you had word of this before?”
"I don’t know," said Jack. "It comes in pretty pat, don’t it?" "Makes me think of my mother," said Clover. "I wish it wouldn’t." "I don’t catch who’s sayin’ what," said Aunt Mary.
