Quotes we find instantly

[esteven]

We have already collected wonderful scenes and quotes here, mainly for our continued pleasure, and partially so that dear alltoseek does not always have to engage her awesome finding powers. *g*

But what of those quotes that –though short- remind us of long scenes, may even move us to smile or sniffle, and where we know exactly where they are?

Let me give you some examples that you surely know intimately well:

The music-room in the Governor's House at Port Mahon, a tall, handsome, pillared octagon, was filled with the triumphant first movement of Locatelli's C major quartet

'Come, brother,'said Stephen in his ear, very like a dream.'Come below.

Stephen saw them walk into his timeless dream: they had been there before, but never together.

Would you know any more of quotes like these? Please post them here. :D

You say we know exactly where they are, but mostly I do not, or cannot quite say which book, so it's always handy to be told :-)

:DDDDD

1. MC, chapter one, the very first sentence

2. PC, chapter eleven , the beginning of the scene so wonderfully oakumed recently by mithen

3. HMSS, Chapter three , Stephen's rescue

4. RoM, chapter nine, the pillory scene

...as if you did not know that. *snugs* ;D

I was not sure of the second and third. Forgive me, I am not a bad fan, just a very absent-minded one *g*

[esteven]

You knew the first and the fourth,i.e. 50 per cent. That's good. :D

Had I mentioned how indebted I am to you for creating this comm?
YAY

[feroxargentea]

It is lovely to see it being used.

:DDDDDDDDDDDD

You have a few quotes to spare?

Hmm, that first quote starts a scene that nearly leads to a duel, and the second quote marks the point where a duel is tacitly canceled. :-)

:D

Yes, even though the quotes are short, they give the compete picture. :D
