1 " Life isn't worth living without love. Have faith in love! Take a chance, and you might be surprised at how well things will turn out. If you do, you'll be filled with joy. I promise. "

2 " I do have a girl that sets the moon and stars. "
3 " Look through that clump of trees. There's a hawk sitting on the weathervane at the Red Rooster Inn. I've heard that if someone you love very much passes away, they can come back in the form of a hawk, to look after you and give you comfort. "

They don't have a little house to go home to when the sun goes down, with a small woodstove and comfortable bed. "

9 " humiliation then would have been unbearable. It was bad enough now. And what about that poor woman he married? Had the circumstances played out for her in just the way her mother said they would for Susanna if she ever gave her heart to a man? Maybe for Albert, the romance had been all about the chase, and as soon as they’d consummated their love, his ardor had cooled, and he’d left her with child. "
