Mrs. Kernan Quotes

After a quarter of a century of married life, she had very few illusions left.

Religion for her was a habit and she suspected that a man of her husband’s age would not change greatly before death.

Her beliefs were not extravagant. She believed steadily in the Sacred Heart as the most generally useful of all Catholic devotions and approved of the sacraments. Her faith was bounded by her kitchen but, if she was put to it, she could believe also in the banshee and in the Holy Ghost.
