Página 493 - VENTNOR. Mr. Heythorp, you've had your way all your life, I fancy HEYTHORP. Wish I had. VENTNOR. And it's given you the idea that you can always have it. Well, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall — not all the King's horses nor all the King's men — remember the old rhyme ? HEYTHORP.
Página 87 - The men have been treated justly, they have had fair wages, we have always been ready to listen to complaints. It has been said that times have changed; if they have, I have not changed with them. Neither will I. It has been said that masters and men are equal! Cant! There can only be one master in a house!

In a few years you and your children would be down in the condition they're in, but for those who have the eyes to see things as they are and the backbone to stand up for themselves. ENID.

Is there a man of you that has given up eight hundred pounds since this trouble here began? Come now, is there? How much has Thomas given up — ten pounds or five, or what? You listened to him, and what had he to say? "None can pretend...
Página 462 - I'd have for a dog. Got room in that chest for this bottle ? My frog ; don't want to lose him. Quaint chap, isn't he ? [He holds up the bottled specimen for FRANKS to see.] The variety of creature — the riot of life and death, in this forest I FRANKS. Remember the carrier's dying wife in Stanley's book : " It's a bad world, master, and you have lost your way in it.
Página 130 - A sound from far away, as of distant, dull beating on thick metal, is suddenly audible. FALDER shrinks back, not able to bear this sudden clamour. But the sound grows, as though some great tumbril were rolling towards the cell. And gradually it seems to hypnotise him.
Página 85 - Oh! men — for the love o' them, don't roll up another stone upon their heads, don't help to blacken the sky, an' let the bitter sea in over them. They're welcome to the worst that can happen to me, to the worst that can happen to us all, aren't they — aren't they?
