  • I would not that death should take me asleep. I would not have him merely seize me, and only declare me to be dead, but win me, and overcome me.

  • As he took her hand she saw him look her over from head to foot, a gesture she recognized and that made her feel at home, but gave her always a faint feeling of superiority to whoever made it. If her person was property she could exercise whatever advantage was inherent in its ownership.
