Brought To Battle Quotes

“I don’t get it,” I told Sir Alfred. “She said she loves me – said it twice. But then she also kept saying, ‘I don’t know . . . I don’t know.’ It’s got me in a bind. I don’t know what to do.” We walked for two minutes before he responded. “I’m taking so long to answer because we’re talking about women and that’s a subject on which I really never know what to say. No man does.” After another lengthy pause he said, “See here, Allen, it’s part of a woman’s wonder and mystery. At times they can just explode, flinging around jagged emotions like so much shrapnel. That’s when one must take cover and stay alert.”
