Quotes 

• Tess : Stuperstitious old man!

  [goes to the fireplace to put out the peat-fire] 

  Tess : I rake this fire as the pure Christ rakes us all... with Mary at the foot and Brigid at the head. And may the eight brightest angels from the City of Grace preserve this house and all its people till the coming of the day.

  [Crosses herself] 

• Tess : [to Fiona and Grandfather]  The sea is a sickness and you two will come to grieve for it!
