“She laughed. 'It won't last. Nothing lasts. But I'm happy now.' 'Happy,' I muttered, trying to pin the word down. But it is one of those words, like Love, that I have never quite understood. Most people who deal in words don't have much faith in them and I am no exception--especially the big ones like Happy and Love and Honest and Strong. They are too elusive and far too relative when you compare them to sharp, mean little words like Punk and Cheap and Phony. I feel at home with these, because they're scrawny and easy to pin, but the big ones are tough and it takes either a priest or a fool to use them with any confidence.”

FERNANDO.—Y lo está realmente, tío Ezequiel. EZEQUIEL.—¡Vaya! Menos mal. Eso me tranquiliza. CLOTILDE.—¡Qué cosa tan desagradable, Dios mío! Tiene usted mordeduras, ¿verdad? EZEQUIEL.—Sí. Tengo de todo. CLOTILDE.—¡Claro! Si Micaela le echó encima a Caín y a Abel… FERNANDO.—¿Te han mordido los perros, tío? EZEQUIEL.—¿Los perros? No. Aquella señora. (Señala a Micaela.). Los perros no hacían más que ladrar los animalitos. Pero aquella señora… Sujetadla bien, que no vuelva.”
