    • Quotes

      Mary Foley: Wouldn't you thank God to know your man was under his own roof by day and night?

      Ruth: If he was happy, yes.

      Mary Foley: Ruth, listen. I hadn't been married a week before I all but lost Henry. It was just such a night. He came back, thank God. But only he and two others were saved.

      Ruth: Oh!

      Mary Foley: The sea took my eldest. Just a little boy. Venturesome. He put out in a small boat, unknown to us. I never saw him again. Till the sea washed him back.
