Elizabeth Gaskell

"- Ay! Thornton o' Marlborough Mill, as we call him.- He is one of the masters you are striving with, is he not? What sort of master is he? - Did yo' ever see a bulldog? Set a bulldog on hindlegs, and dress him up in coat and breeches, and yo'n just getten John Thornton."

"The temptation is too strong for me. Oh, Lord! Where is Thy peace that I believed in, in my childhood? – that I hear people speaking of now, as if it hushed up the troubles of life, and had not to be sought for – sought for, as with tears of blood! [-Jemima, chapter 26, pg. 275]."
