Quotes 

  • [first lines] 

    L'oncle : And so, he had left. And so, he submitted, like the others. like all the others of that miserable nation, and I tried to etch into my mind the events of these last six months: Our evenings, his words, his revolt, yet not even he, of all men, had the courage to resist his master's orders.

  • L'oncle : That night I learned that for keen observers, the hands express emotion just as deeply as a face. They're perhaps more expressive than a face, for it's harder for us to control them.

  • [last lines] 

    L'oncle : My niece prepared lunch, as she did every day. She served me in silence, and we drank in silence. Outside, pale sunlight shone through the fog. It seemed very cold outside.

  • L'oncle : Women's instincts are sharper than a tiger's.

  • L'oncle : She kissed me good night, and her beautiful gray eyes seemed full of reproach and heavy with sadness.
