Mrs. Broderick: Don't be speaking with him at all. It is easy know the signs. A person to be laughing and mocking, and that would not have the same habits with yourself, or to have no fear of things you would be in dread of, or to be using a different class of food.
Peter Tannian: I use no food but clean food.
Hyacinth Halvey: To be giddy in the head is a sign, and to be talking of things that passed years ago.
Peter Tannian: I am talking of nothing but the thing I have a right to talk of.
Mrs. Broderick: To be nervous and thinking and pausing, and playing with knicknacks.
Peter Tannian: It never was my habit to be playing with knicknacks.
Bartley Fallon: When the master in the school where I was went queer, he beat me with two clean rods, and wrote my name with my own blood.
Mrs. Broderick: To take the shoe off their foot, and to hit out right and left with it, bawling their life out, tearing their clothes, scattering and casting them in every part; or to run naked through the town, and all the people after them.
Shawn Early: To be jumping the height of trees they do be, and all the people striving to slacken them.
Hyacinth Halvey: To steal prayer-books and rosaries, and to be saying prayers they never could keep in mind before.
