"Then she’ll get Mr. Stebbins right off," said Joshua.
‘She says she’ll settle her missis’s life,’ replied Mrs. Tibbs. ‘The wretch! they’re plotting murder.’ ‘I know you want money,’ continued the voice, which belonged to Agnes; ‘and if you’d secure me the five hundred pound, I warrant she should take fire soon enough.’ ‘What’s that?’ inquired Evenson again. He could just hear enough to want to hear more.
If I don’t get into business, I’ll maybe marry a rich gambler.” “That would be a poor way to get on,” said Anna sarcastically. “I wish I could teach school, like Selma Kronn. Just think! She’ll be the first Scandinavian girl to get a position in the High School. We ought to be proud of her.”
Ames’s carriage seemed always to be driving into the Court. “Annie says she’s dying,” Rosie retailed despairingly. “They don’t think she’ll live through the night. Oh, won’t it be dreadful to wake up to-morrow and find the crape on the door.” The thought of what she might see in the morning kept Maida awake a long time that night. When she arose her first glance was for the Lathrop door.
"If I was sure she’d be gone for a week," she said, "I’d go a-visitin’ myself." "She’ll be gone a week," said Joshua; and the manner and matter of his speech were both those of a prophet. Then he went out and the door slammed to behind him. Aunt Mary’s arrival in the city just coincided with the arrival of that day’s five o’clock.
“No, no, no. I believe you. I’ll tell you what it is: you go to Grushenka yourself, or see her somehow; make haste and ask her; see for yourself, which she means to choose, him or me. Eh? What? Can you?” “If I see her I’ll ask her,” Alyosha muttered, embarrassed. “No, she won’t tell you,” the old man interrupted, “she’s a rogue. She’ll begin kissing you and say that it’s you she wants.
"Who says so?" its handler demanded, facing about in surprise. "She says so." Joshua picked up the ax and poised it afresh. He was himself again. "She’ll go then," he said calmly. Lucinda marched around in front of him, and planted herself firmly among the chips. "Joshua Whittlesey!" "We can’t help it," said Joshua stolidly. "We’re here to mind her.

I’ll clean her friends’ goloshes, blow up their samovar, run their errands.” “Katerina Ivanovna will understand it all,” Alyosha said solemnly. “She’ll understand how great this trouble is and will forgive. She has a lofty mind, and no one could be more unhappy than you. She’ll see that for herself.”
If you do all this you are sure to be happy, though married. Hear also what Robert Burton says in his wonderful book, The Anatomy of Melancholy. ‘Hast thou means? Thou hast none, if unmarried, to keep and increase them. Hast none? Thou hast one, if married, to help and get them. Art in prosperity? Thine happiness is doubled with a wife. Art in adversity? She’ll comfort and assist thee.
