Jan Chappell: Soldier's Wife

Quotes 

• Soldier's Wife : Oh what shall we do? My lips are sore with praying and my knees are weary of kneeling.

  Soldier : I have lost my whistle from worrying. It's the very devil, I say, the very devil.

  Soldier : [the devil's foot in the window begins to shake]  Now where the devil's that devil of mine?

  Devil : [the devil appears in a puff of smoke]  I'm here, your excellency.

  Soldier : Where have you sprung from?

  Devil : Not so much sprung as hopped, sir. You have my foot.

  Soldier : Cure my son and you can have it back. This is my good wife, by the way, and this is my devil.

  Devil : Hmm, how do you do?
