“"I might become a very clever artist, but I shan't ever be a great one. At least I don't think so."
You can't tell, I said.
"I'm not egocentric enough. I'm a woman. I have to lean on something." I don't know why but she suddenly changed the subject and said, "Are you a queer?"

Typical woman behavior

“She was just like a woman. Unpredictable. Smiling one minute and spiteful the next.”

“I can't say how strange it was, us standing there. Her making criticisms like a typical woman.”

“They all said she was pretty. There were photos. It she was ugly it would all have been two lines on the back page.”

Brutal black pill

“I don't blame her, it was natural, especially with a daughter who's a cripple. I think people like Mabel should be put ou painlessly, but that's beside the point.”

I love this guy

“I won't say what hap-pened, except that I was no good. I was too nervous, I tried to be as if I knew all about it and of course she saw, she was old and she was horrible, horrible. I mean, both the filthy way she behaved and in looks. She was worn, common. Like a specimen you'd turn away from, out collecting.”

Worn, common.
I will be using that in the future that was hilarious

“I was rich a good spec as a husband now then again I knew it was ridiculous people we married for love, especially girls like Miranda”

This fucking fool has no idea

“She was everything Miranda wasn’t. I always hated vulgar women, especially girls.”

It’s hard being a sensitive young man in a world filled with hypergamy

“Crutchley's got a dirty mind and he is a sadist, he never let an opportunity go of making fun of my interest, especially if there were girls around.”

Sub 5 collector gets made fun of by sub 8 jester

“Those were days I let myself have the bad dreams. She cried or usually knelt. Once I let myself dream. I hit her across the face as I saw it done once by a chap in a telly play. Perhaps that was when it all started.”
