- Krook: Letters to Nemo. Captain Hawdon. Smells like ladies, but what do they say? We don't know 'cause we can't read.
- Krook: [about Nemo] They say he sold his soul to the Devil. If he did, I don't know what he did with the money.
- Mr. Tulkinghorn: [after the funeral of Mr Nemo] What do you know of this man?
- Jo: I don't know nothing only that he was really good to me.
- Mr. Tulkinghorn: Oh, and what good were you to him?
- John Jarndyce: [Talking of Esther after she recovers from Small Pox] I blame my self.
- Boythorn: You blame yourself for an act of kindness. No sir, the person to blame is the one who calls himself God. What deity is it that would inflict such an illness on an innocent girl?
