The quote: "It may be so," said the young clergyman, indifferently, as waiving a discussion that he considered irrelevant or unreasonable." This quote struck me, because it had an amusing quality to it. The Reverend completely dismissed the conversations that Roger continued to conjure up. Roger knew that the clergyman committed adultery with his wife. The Reverend slowly obtained the idea that Roger knew. (Pg 137)
The event: "So she drew her mother away, skipping, dancing, and frisking fantastically, among the hillocks of the dead people, like a creature that had nothing in common with a bygone and buried generation, nor owned herself akin to it." This quote struck me. It struck me, because it speaks of the mythical creature skipping among the cemetery, so gleefully disgracing the departed. I believe it's as though she had laughed in the face of death. That she believed that death would never knock upon her door, requesting that her life come to an end. It's as though she had scoffed at the fabricated fact of death being worse than her fate. (Pg. 139)
