dear

How many times have I told myself: "Dear God, the little one, she's not enough of a flirt! Always the same dress and she doesn't even comb her hair. The boys won't see anyone but Ismene with her curls and her ribbons and they'll leave me to look after the other one. 🔊

But I'm not putting up with this, my dear. 🔊

Yes, my dear. The job requires it. You can discuss whether you should do the job or not do the job. But if you're going to do it, you need to do it like that. 🔊

Like my father, yes! We're the kind of people who get to the bottom of things. Right until there really isn't the smallest amount of hope left, the tiniest little possibility of hope to strangle. We're the kind of people who jump on it when we see it, your hope, your dear hope, your filthy hope! 🔊
