....but alone when no one is listening, Helena becomes a dangerous, venomous schemer. My friend and I scowl and mock her when we talk or gossip about common enemies. "smug little WHORES....smug little BAH-STUDS." When we talk about promiscuity and loose morals of certain people, we use Helena's term "willing young Ho-Uhz" (whores).
shareThey're all Vesey's bastards! Smug little whore's bastards!
Oh pusscat pusscat, what a barefaced little liar you are!
And Nellie the elephant for silly old granny!
Love it.
Laughing ourselves silly! Thank you for adding those, Chuffnobbler. Wasn't that writer brilliant with the dialogue?
shareIt's such a good series.
Helena visiting George in prison, trying to goad him: "unspeakable degradations ... such brutish faces", while he chuckles away about going to work on the prison farm.
Danuta's sexy talk making Helena uncomfortable.
Brilliant stuff: laugh-out-loud funny and a great build up of tension. (Poor Ruth).
