Elizabeth Gaskell Quotes

Well!" Said John Slater, After Having Acknowledged His Nose And His Likeness; "I Could Laugh At A Jest As Well As E'er The Best On 'em, Though It Did Tell Agen Mysel, If I Were Not Clemming" (his Eyes Filled With Tears; He Was A Poor, Pinched, Sharp-featured Man, With A Gentle And Melancholy Expression Of Countenance), "and If I Could Keep From Thinking Of Them At Home, As Is Clemming; But With Their Cries For Food Ringing In My Ears, And Making Me Afeard Of Going Home, And Wonder If I Should Hear 'em Wailing Out, If I Lay Cold And Drowned At Th' Bottom O' Th' Canal, There - Why, Man, I Cannot Laugh At Aught. It Seems To Make Me Sad That There Is Any As Can Make Game On What They've Never Knowed; As Can Make Such Laughable Pictures On Men, Whose Very Hearts Within 'em Are So Raw And Sore As Ours Were And Are, God Help Us." John
