"He is not a mere doctor expressing an opinion, but a judge pronouncing a verdict"

"If my word can save his life, he shall not die"
"How can any marriage take place in this fashion?... Idiotic!"

"I sliced cucumber specially for you, and you don't hesitate to throw it away"
Long gone are "those days when I believed in being useful at home"

"I'm desperate to please her by agreeing to this frightful marriage"
"You are going to live"
