4. Crofts: Look here, Praed. I ask you as a particular favour. If you do know (movement
of protest from Praed) – I only say, if you know, you might set my mind at rest about
her (ShL, 110).
5. I very strongly object, Viv, to have my feelings compared to any which the Reverend
Samuel is capable of harboring, and I object still to a comparison of you to your
mother (ShL, 157).
6. I wish you joy of your host (ShL, 262).
7. I calculate that at the very least it will take fifty years to get it through (ShL, 253-4).
8. -You will excuse the expression..
-I excuse everything from my patients (ShL, 221).
9. I thank you, Sir Jafna, for showing this man that even hardened capitalist millionaires
shudder when that story is told (ShL, 242).
10. David: The first thing we heard him say was: “Gentleman: be patient. I promise you
will soon see the one thing that can revive our industries and save our beloved
country: a rise in prices (ShL, 215).
11. I refuse to live in this house with her a moment longer (ShL, 196).
12. Hilda: I think Rock of Ages will be rather a shock unless in connection with something
very sincere. May I suggest “The Church’s One Foundation”?
Sir Arthur: Yes. Much better. Thank you. (ShL, 196)
13. Jesus: I say to you: Cast out fear (ShL, 183)
14. Praed: You make my blood run cold. Are you to have no romance, no beauty in your
life?
Vivie: I don’t care for either, I assure you. (ShL, 104).
15. Vivie: I like working and getting paid for it. When I’m tired of working, I like a
comfortable chair, a cigar, a little whisky, and a novel with a good detective story in it.
Praed (in a frenzy repudiation): I don;t believe it. I am an artist; and I can’t believe it. I
refuse to believe it (ShL, 104).
16. Praed: You’d not do such a thing.
Vivie: Then tell me why not.
Praed: I really cannot. I appeal to your good feeling. (ShL, 106)
17. Praed (revolted): What a monstrous, wicked, rascally system! I knew it! I felt at once
that it meant destroying all that makes womanhood beautiful.
Vivie: I don’t object to it on that score in the least. I shall turn it to very good account, I
assure you. (Sh, MWP, 103)
18. Trench: I beg your pardon for calling you by your name (ShWH, 39).
19. I regret the mistake (ShWH, 34).
20. I will not sit here listening to this disgusting ungentlemanly nonsense.
Chavendler: the coalition is dissolved. I resign (ShL, 255).
21. Vivie: How can I feel sure that I may have the contaminated blood of that brutal waster
in my veins?
Mrs Warrent: No, no. On my oath, it’s not he, or any other of the rest that you have
ever met. I’m certain of that, at least (ShL, 131).
22. Vivie: Then where are our relatives – my father – our family friends? You claim the
rights of a mother … … Before I give myself the trouble to resist such claims, I may as
well find out whether they have any real existence.
Mrs Warren (Distracted, throwing herself on her knees): Oh, no, no. Stop, stop. I am
your mother. I swear it. (ShL, 131)
