In Their Own Words

"Mark my words, it is some nonsense Nana has been putting into their heads; just the sort of idea a dog would have. Leave it alone, and it will blow over."
"Be a man, Michael."
"In vain, in vain; the proper place for you is the yard, and there you go to be tied up this instant."
