"What DOES it matter what my opinions are--a wretch like me! Can it matter to anybody in the world who comes to see me for half an hour-- here with one foot in the grave! ... Come, please write, Arabella!" he pleaded. "Repay my candour by a little generosity!" ¡¡¡¡ "I should think NOT!" ¡¡¡¡ "Not just once?--Oh do!" He felt that his physical weakness had taken away all his dignity. ¡¡¡¡ "What do you want HER to know how you are for? She don't want to see 'ee. She's the rat that forsook the sinking ship!" ¡¡¡¡ "Don't, don't!" ¡¡¡¡ "And I stuck to un--the more fool I! Have that strumpet in the house indeed!" ¡¡¡¡ Almost as soon as the words were spoken Jude sprang from the chair, and before Arabella knew where she was he had her on her back upon a little couch which stood there, he kneeling above her.
