Quotes
- “We'll use a signal I have tried and found far-reaching and easy to yell. Waa-hoo!”
- “It was the elision of the weaker element — the survival of the fittest; and some, indeed very many, mothers must lose their sons that way.”
- “he was a stranger in a strange land”
- “Remembering Jane’s accusation of bitterness, he tried hard to put aside his rancor in judging Tull. But it was bitter knowledge that made him see the truth. He had felt the shadow of an unseen hand; he had watched till he saw its dim outline, and then he had traced it to a man’s hate, to the rivalry of a Mormon Elder, to the power of a Bishop, to the long, far-reaching arm of a terrible creed.”
- “For hand in glove with that power was an insatiate greed; they were one and the same.”
- “He called Tull a binder of women, a callous beast who hid behind a mock mantle of righteousness—an’ the last an’ lowest coward on the face of the earth. To prey on weak women through their religion—that was the last unspeakable crime!”
