Inspector Goole

• "I'd like some information if you don't mind"
• "Two hours ago a young women died on the infirmary"
• "She was in great agony. They did everything they could for her at the infirmary but she died. Suicide of course"
• "Like a lot of these young women that get into various kinds of trouble"
• "Because what happened to her then may have determined what happened to her afterwards and what happened to her afterwards may have driven her to suicide"
• "It's my duty to ask questions"
• "It's better to ask for the earth than to take it"
• "(dryly) I don't play golf"
• "She wasn't pretty when I saw her today but she had been pretty - very pretty"
• "with no work, no money coming in and living in lodgings with no relatives to help her, few friends, lonely, half starved, she was feeling desperate"
• "There are a lot of young women living that sort of existence in every city and big town in this country"
• I've thought that it would do us all a bit of good if sometimes we tried to put ourselves in the place of these young women counting their pennies"
• "A nice little promising life there, I thought, and a nasty mess somebody's made of it"
• "But you're partly to blame, just as your father is"
• "So you used the power you had .... to punish the girl just because she made you feel like that?"
• "It's too late. She's dead"
