- "Ceased to be her child in becoming his wife"
- "he welcomed his bride home"
- "The young bride, who had become that multitude of girls I saw in the mirrors"
- "as if he were striping the leaves off an artichoke...he approached his familiar treat with a weary appetite"
- "the child with her stick-like limbs...shielding her face with her hand as though it was repository of her modesty"
- "put on that white dress you wore to hear Tristan and the necklace that prefigures your end"
- "examined her, limb by limb...bare as a lamb chop...so my purchaser unwrapped his bargain"
- "he had invited me to join this gallery of beautiful women"
- "When I saw him look at me with lust, I dropped my eyes"
- "On his arm, all eyes were upon me"
- "And everyone stared at me. And at his wedding gift...a choker of rubies"
- "I saw him watching me in the glided mirrors with the assessing eye of a connoisseur inspecting horseflesh, or even of a house wife in the market, inspecting cuts on the slab"
- "excited senses told me he was awake and gazing at me"
- "his eyes, dark and motionless as those eyes the ancient Egyptians painted on their sarcophagi, fixed upon me"
- "The mark of Cain"
- "grey eyes that fixed upon me even though they could not see me"
- "stared at me with his blind, shuttered eyes as though he did not recognise me"
- "I saw myself, suddenly, as he saw me...I saw how much that cruel necklace became me"
- "I swear to you, I had never been vain until I met him"
- "my whey-faced piano-player"
- "The chauffer eyed me; was he comparing me...to the countess, the artist's model, the opera singer?"
- "My husband liked me to wear my opal over my kid glove, a showy, theatrical trick...it was proof positive I was his master's wife"
- "He had made me change into that chaste little Poiret shift of white Muslin"
- "He would not let me take off my ruby choker"
- "A dozen husbands impaled a dozen brides"
- "He made me put on my choker"
- "I seemed reborn in his unreflective eyes"
