              1.  Of course, I must ask you to keep my name out of it (SFTN, 156)
              2.  “It was possible for me to arrange that, by a stroke of luck. And, may I add,” he smiled
                  apologetically, “that as they say: money or no object” (SFTN, 19)
              3.  “I like this room.” “I find it somewhat meager” (SFTN, 281).
              4.  “It’s  too bad  about  the young women.  I’d like to apologize to  the  one who came in
                  here.”
                  “If you’d only listened on the piano seat!”
                  “But you’ve gotten so damned dull, Mary. I listened as long as I could.”
                  “Be quiet!” Nicole advised him.
                  “I return his compliment,” said Mary bitterly. “Good-by, Nicole.” (SFTN, 252)
              5.  “I insist,” insisted Lanier on the train, “that it was dirty bath water.” (SFTN, 252)
              6.  if I hadn’t been sick would you – I mean, would I have been the sort of girl you might
                  have – oh, slush, you know what I mean (SFTN, 45)
              7.  I mean it’s stuffy to some people 9sftn, 43)/
              8.  I realize that you position has been difficult (SFTN, 31).
              9.  I forgive you (SFTN, 28)
              10. I wonder if I may ask you a great favour. Unforseen circumstances call me back to
                  Paris, and I find I can make better time by way of Lausanne (SFTN, 47)
              11. I must ask you to leave. (SFTN, 242).
              12. I want to ask you to go very slowly (SFTN, 23)
              13. Of course, I understand your position exactly, and I express our gratitude once again
                  (SFTN, 23)
              14. My advice is to leave this hotel – by way or the bar, if you want (SFTN, 152).
              15. I assure you that I haven’t an idea what you’re talking about (SFTN, 141).
              16. She’s no so cold as you’d probably think. I admit she was cold for a long time (SFTN,
                  135).
              17. “Mother always spoke of it very carefully as a small  hotel –“ Nicole gave her quick
                  little laugh, - “I mean instead of saying a ‘cheap’ hotel” (SFTN, 116).
              18. I want to give a really bad party. I mean it. (SFTN, 77).
              19. “I bet if Nicole was here she’d let me come back.” “All right.” (SFTN, 153)
              20. I’ll bet I can tell you about it. (SFTN, 210).
              21. “Now,  that’s  enough!”  cried  Abe.  The  duelists  walked  in  and  everyone  looked  at
                  Barban inquiringly.
                  “I declare myself unsatisfied.”
                  “What? Sure you’re satisfied, “said Abe impatiently. “You just don’t know it.”
                  “Your man refuses another shot?” (SFTN, 98)
              I promise I’ll never see you again. I’ll get Mother and go to America right away (SFTN,
              113)
