You'll grow used to hearing shameful things said of me. I suppose I shall grow used to it, too.

Lucy.

Oh, I hate them.

Alec.

Ah, it's not that I mind. What torments me is that it was so easy to despise their praise, and now I can't despise their blame.

Mrs. Crowley.

[Smiling.] I believe you have some glimmerings of human nature in you after all.

Lucy.

When you came to-night, so calm and self-possessed, I admired you as I'd never admired you before.
