“But I don’t know why they do it. They seem kind, they take care of her – but they don’t care for her.’ ‘I’ll tell you something. The English are kind but they’re not warm. Now us, we’re warm, we have heart. The Italians will do very bad things but always from the heart, without shame, without pretence. The English don’t do bad things but they’re cold. You don’t get to know them, never in a hundred years. But in all that time they don’t do one bad thing. This is a land to be safe in – but also sometimes dead.”

“But while pleased to surrender to Grace's authority, Janice enjoyed resenting it.”
