Sayfa 196 - ... the house of darkness, the house of dumbness, the house of suffocation. Osmond's beautiful mind gave it neither light nor air; Osmond's beautiful mind, indeed, seemed to peep down from a small high window and mock at her. Of course it was not physical suffering; for physical suffering there might have been a remedy.
Sayfa 275 - She had spoken of his insulting her, but it suddenly seemed to her that this ceased to be a pain. He was going down — down ; the vision of such a fall made her almost giddy ; that was the only pain. He was too strange, too different ; he didn't touch her. Still, the working of his morbid passion was extraordinary, and she felt a rising curiosity to know in what light he saw himself justified.
Sayfa 436 - She had not known where to turn ; but she knew now. There was a very straight path.
Sayfa 200 - Her mind was to be his — attached to his own like a small garden-plot to a deer-park. He would rake the soil gently and water the flowers; he would weed the beds and gather an occasional nosegay. It would be a pretty piece of property for a proprietor already far-reaching.
Sayfa 434 - ve nothing to do with all that ; we 're quite out of it ; we look at things as they are. You took the great step in coming away; the next is nothing; it's the natural one. I swear, as I stand here, that a woman deliberately made to suffer is justified in anything in life — in going down into the streets if that will help her!
Sayfa 421 - She had a husband in a foreign city, counting the hours of her absence; in such a case one needed an excellent motive. He was not one of the best husbands; but that didn't alter the case. Certain obligations were involved in the very fact of marriage, and were quite independent of the quantity of enjoyment extracted from it.
Sayfa 130 - She gave an envious thought to the happier lot of men, who are always free to plunge into the healing waters of action.
Sayfa 164 - Just beyond the threshold of the drawing-room she stopped short, the reason for her doing so being that she had received an impression. The impression had, in strictness, nothing unprecedented; but she felt it as something new, and the soundlessness of her step gave her time to take in the scene before she interrupted it.
Sayfa 78 - The elation of success, which surely now flamed high in Osmond, emitted meanwhile very little smoke for so brilliant a blaze. Contentment, on his part, took no vulgar form; excitement, in the most self-conscious of men, was a kind of ecstasy of self-control.
Sayfa 287 - ... take the place. Will you be so good as to draw up a lease? Then, on the whole, he decides that the rooms are too small ; he doesn't think he could live on a third floor ; he must look out for a piano nobile. And he goes away after having got a month's lodging in the poor little apartment for nothing.
