Evangeline Wraxton Quotes

“[W]hen she was dying she asked me to promise never to leave Father. I couldn't refuse. It was the last thing she said. She was worried over what would happen to him. So you see!'
'How could she condemn you to such a life?'
'Well, you see, she had a rather gloomy idea of life. She thought we are all born to suffer and the more we suffer now the less we shall hereafter. She thought it was wrong to be happy. I expect she worked all that out because she was married to Father.' (116)”
― Margaret Kennedy, The Feast
