"'You aren't riff-raff and
I love you,' said Jane. 'You and mother are the only people in the world
I love.'
Even as she said it, a queer little pang wrung Jane's heart. It suddenly

could never remember the exact number of millions, but she knew it was enormous...were

"But though she felt that something had taken her life and torn it apart,
she did not cry." (Chapter 12).
"Perhaps it was the voice
more than the words...a voice that made everything seem like a wonderful
secret that just you two shared." (Chapter 13)
"She felt at once that mysterious kinship of soul which has nothing to do
with the relationship of flesh and blood" (Chapter 13)
"He taught her the loveliness of words...dad read words as if tasted them." (Chapter
23)
"'When I first saw her, I was just out of the mud and stench and obscenity
of the trenches and I thought she was a creature from another star.'" -Andrew
Stuart (Chapter 26)
