“My master jecked up my dress and gived my mistress the whip and told her to teach me a lesson. Every time she hit me she asked me what I said my name was. I said Jane Brown. She hit me again: what I said my name was. I said Jane Brown.”

“« Il faut dire qu’un séjour continuel dans un État bien organisé a quelque chose d’absolument fantômal ; on ne peut sortir dans la rue, boire un verre d’eau ou monter dans le tram sans toucher aux leviers subtilement équilibrés d’un gigantesque appareil de lois et de relations, les mettre en branle ou se faire maintenir par eux dans la tranquillité de son existence ; on n’en connaît qu’un très petit nombre, ceux qui pénètrent profondément dans l’intérieur et se perdent à l’autre bout dans un réseau dont aucun homme, jamais, n’a débrouillé l’ensemble ; c’est d’ailleurs pourquoi on le nie, comme le citadin nie l’air, affirmant qu’il n’est que du vide ; mais il semble que ce soit justement parce que tout ce que l’on nie, tout ce qui est incolore, inodore, insipide, sans poids et sans moeurs, comme l’eau, l’air, l’espace, l’argent et la fuite du temps, est en réalité l’essentiel que la vie prend ce caractère spectral. »”

‘Morning Steve,’ Thomas said scratching his grubby face. His breath drifted across the space between them making Steve’s nose twitch involuntarily.”

“The sunset bled into the edges of the village. Smoke curled out of the cottage chimney like a crooked finger.”
