Sylvia Townsend Warner Quotes
Stronger Than Rage, Astonishment, Contempt, The Pleasurable Sense That At Last She Had Slapped Frederick's Face, The Less Pleasurable Surmise That His Slap Back Would Be Longer-lasting; Stronger Even Than The Desire To See Minna Was Her Feeling That Of All Things, All People, She Most At This Moment Wished To See Ingelbrecht, And The Sturdy Assurance That She Would Find In Him Everything That She Expected. If She Had Gone Up The Stairs In The Rue De La Carabine On Her Knees, She Could Not Have Ascended With A More Zealotical Faith That There Would Be Healing At The Top; And When He Opened The Door To Her, Enquiring Politely If Her Errands Had Gone Well She Replied With Enthusiasm, "Perfectly.

has Just Threatened To Cut Me Off With A Penny."
"A Lock-out," Said Ingelbrecht. "Very Natural. It Is A Symptom Of Capitalistic Anxiety. I Suppose He Has Always Been Afraid Of You."
She Nodded, And Her Lips Curved In A Grin Of Satisfaction.
