This weeks quotations are as follows.
1. ...'It would seem', said he, 'the choice lies between two sins. To deny
the world a Light which is under our hand, or to enlighten the world before
her time…this birth, my sons, is untimely. It will be but the mother of more
death, more death, more torture, more division, and greater darkness in this
dark age…'
2. ...The man lifted his eyes and looked at her with infinite compassion
before he turned from the fresh sown grass toward the naked black crosses.
'Come with me' he said, 'and I will show you where your son lies'
3. ...'That's all right,' said she contentedly, and went up to the house,
where she scandalised the whole routine by taking a luxurious hot bath
before tea, and came down looking, as Miss Fowler said when she saw her
lying all relaxed on the other sofa, 'quite handsome'...
