• "When Miss Emily opened the package at home there was written on the box, under the skull and bones: 'For rats.'"

• "So when Miss Emily go to be thirty and was still single, we were not pleased exactly, but vindicated; even with insanity in the family she wouldn't have turned down all of her chances if they had really materialized."
