#1
“Most of all, I am glad to see that you discarded the outlandish garb you were wearing the last time we met. It would have been a sin had you come to church flaunting such ridiculous clothing, if you can even call it that. Especially those spiky metal contraptions on your boots.”
#2
“She deserves a good man, not a cowboy who would run out on her. And, Lord willing, I intend to be the man who wins her.”
#3
“From now on, just call me Ruth.”
#4
“Oh there’s always a choice. Maybe you just haven’t been looking hard enough . . . There’s only one thing I’ll tell you. Emily needs you, but she won’t admit it to a soul, not even herself. And she loves you. I see that clearly, but she’s deluded herself.”
#5
“Not quite everything has been Matthew’s fault, but I think I’d feel better if he would just leave.”
#6
“It’s not my policy to let criminals to run free through my town any longer than I can help it.”
#7
“There’s got to be a way out of this. Write to him. Tell him how you feel. And if that doesn’t work, then—then I’ll sic Ephraim on him. I’ll go after him myself. I’ll grab him by the ear, drag him back, and lock him up until he comes to his senses.”
#8
“If she keeps this up all summer, I’m going to be a saint by the time harvest arrives.”
#9
“You don’t have to leave right away, do you? You just got here. You could stay and eat supper with us. My mama’s a really good cook. You could leave another time.”
#10
“True love is a choice, even when it doesn’t come easily. It’s not selfish. It’s about giving to the one I love, even when I don’t feel like it.”
