How much money do you want ?" "Thirty-five pounds." "Exactly thirty-five?
And it isn't for your own use ?" "I can't tell you any more.

I am in very great need of the money, and if you will lend it me I shall feel very grateful." "I want no gratitude, I want nothing from you, Eve, except what you can't give me.

I can imagine a man in my position giving you money in the hope that it might be your ruin just to see you brought down, humiliated.

There's so much of the brute in us all.

But I don't feel that desire." "Why should you ?" she asked, with a change to coldness.
