Harvey Wilks Quotes

“You talk like an Englishman, don’t you? It’s the worst imitation I ever heard. You Peter Wilks’ s brother! You’re a fraud, that’s what you are!”

“I was your father’s friend, and I’m your friend; and I warn you as a friend, and an honest one that wants to protect you and keep you out of harm and trouble, to turn your backs on that scoundrel and have nothing to do with him, the ignorant tramp, with his idiotic Greek and Hebrew, as he calls it. He is the thinnest kind of an impostor—has come here with a lot of empty names and facts which he picked up somewheres, and you take them for proofs, and are helped to fool yourselves by these foolish friends here, who ought to know better.”

“All right; I wash my hands of the matter. But I warn you all that a time ‘s coming when you’re going to feel sick whenever you think of this day.”
