Pagina 316 - My dear, I don't know that in life it matters so much what you do as what you are. No one can learn by the experience of another because no circumstances are quite the same. If we made rather a hash of things perhaps it was because we were rather trivial people. You can do anything in this world if you're prepared to take the consequences, and consequences depend on character.
Pagina 45 - I'll do what I please and no man, I don't give a hoot who he is, can tell me what to do! I ain't asking either of you for a living. I can make it myself — one way or other. I'm my own boss. So put that in your pipe and smoke it! You and your orders!
Pagina 45 - Nothing! Not even enough to come out and see me! That crazy bull about wanting to keep me away from the sea don't go down with me ! You yust didn't want to be bothered with me! You're like all the rest of 'em! CHRIS [feebly]. Anna! It ain't so ANNA [not heeding his interruption — revengefully]. But one thing I never wrote you. It was one of them cousins that you think is such nice people — the youngest son — Paul — that started me wrong. [Loudly.] It wasn't none of my fault. I hated him worse'n...
Pagina 314 - But I wasn't offering you happiness. I don't think my sort of love tends to happiness. I'm jealous. I'm not a very easy man to get on with. I'm often out of temper and irritable. I should be fed to the teeth with you sometimes, and so would you be with me. I daresay we'd fight like cat and dog, and sometimes we'd hate each other. Often you'd be wretched and bored stiff and lonely, and often you'd be frightfully homesick, and then you'd regret all you'd lost. Stupid women would be rude to you because...
Pagina 45 - ANNA [at the end of her patience— blazing out at them passionately]: You can go to hell, both of you! [There is something in her tone that makes them forget their quarrel and turn to her in a stunned amazement. ANNA laughs wildly.] You're just like all the rest of them— you two! Gawd, you'd think I was a piece of furniture! I'll show you! Sit down now! [As they hesitate— furiously.] Sit down and let me talk for a minute. You're all wrong, see? Listen to me! I'm going to tell you something—...
Pagina 39 - Tis you I mean. ANNA, (is held by his eyes for a moment — then shrinks back from him with a strange, broken laugh) Say — are you — going crazy? Are you trying to kid me? Proposing — to me! — for Gawd's sake! — on such short acquaintance? (CHRIS comes out of the cabin and stands staring blinkingly astern. When he makes out Anna in such intimate proximity to this strange sailor, an angry expression comes over his face).
Pagina 309 - LADY KITTY. Look at me, Elizabeth, and look at Hughie. Do you think it's been a success? If I had my time over again do you think I'd do it again? Do you think he would? ELIZABETH. You see, you don't know how much I love Teddie. LADY KITTY. And do you think I didn't love Hughie? Do you think he didn't love me? ELIZABETH. I'm sure he did. LADY KITTY. Oh, of course in the beginning it was heavenly. We felt so brave and adventurous and we were so much in love. The first two years were wonderful. People...
Pagina 45 - Don't bawl about it. There ain't nothing to forgive, anyway. It ain't your fault. and it ain't mine, and it ain't his neither. We're all poor nuts. and things happen, and we yust get mixed in wrong, that's all.
Pagina 47 - tis the same lies you told them all before that you told to me? ANNA, (indignantly) That's a lie ! I never did ! BURKE, (miserably) You'd be saying that, anyway.
Pagina 46 - You look like you ought to be put away some place. Wonder you wasn't pulled in. You been scrapping, too, ain't you? BURKE: I have — with every scut would take off his coat to me! [Fiercely] And each time I'd be hitting one a clout in the mug, it wasn't his face I'd be seeing at all, but yours, and me wanting to drive you a blow would knock you out of this world where I wouldn't be seeing or thinking more of you. ANNA: [Her lips trembling pitifully] Thanks!
