The Northern Correspondent Quotes

“Only devotion prevailed against the terror. Love might and must yield in flesh, but never in spirit. The mother rocked her tortured child and was afraid of nothing but to be separated from it. Husband nursed wife in secret and in secret gave a kiss to the lips that would infect him. Whole families locked and bolted themselves inside their homes and defended the privilege of dying together.”
― Jean Stubbs, The Northern Correspondent

“Social life almost ceased. Even in church, each worshipper was wary of his neighbour.”
― Jean Stubbs, The Northern Correspondent
