“Soul,” said Jack, turning toward it again, “you’ve been listening. Do you have any suggestions?” “I have only one desire.” “What is that?” “To be united with you. To go through life with you, comforting and cautioning, and—” “Wait a moment,” said Jack, raising his hand. “What does it require for you to be united with me?” “Your consent.” Jack smiled. He lit a cigarette, his hands trembling slightly. “What if I were to withhold my consent?” he asked. “Then I would become a wanderer.

"Very funny, Dan-o. But true. When it comes to nonstop chat, I'm the champ," Nellie agreed.

"Okay, you can stop now."
"Man, that's guid news," Nellie said. "This lassie is about to pass out.”
