“[…]balanced on the biggest wave⟳ you race⟳ towards an early grave.”
“"Hold⟳ your jaw, woman! I've had enough to vex me to-day without you startin' your tantrums. You're jealous of the grave. That's wot's the matter⟳ with you." "And her brats can insult me as they like⟳ - me that 'as cared for you these five years."”
