The Ghoul - Courage and Absurdity in Unlikely Situations
Nigel Hartley:
Not a very courageous person, our foreign friend.
Kaney:
You think he's run away? Absurd! I'd like to see you riding your bicycle with a Circassian slave, lovely as sin, across the handlebars!

The Ghoul - A Visit Amidst Illness and Beliefs
Nigel Hartley:
I happened to be staying in the neighborhood, and hearing of your master's illness I took the liberty of calling. How is he tonight?
Laing:
He'll never see the morning.
Nigel Hartley:
He has not asked for anyone of my cloth?
Laing:
Nor will he. He's set in his ways, and they are the ways of the heathen.
Nigel Hartley:
I know he won't see the rector, but though I'm a comparative stranger, I don't like to leave a man to die like that.
Laing:
He'll die in his own fashion as he has lived.
Nigel Hartley:
Still, sometimes at the end...
Laing:
Not him! He's stubborn and unbending and will be so at the throne itself!

The Ghoul - Passing Conversations in a Nighttime Setting
Nigel Hartley:
I'm sorry there should be this sort of atmosphere. After all, we're only ships that pass in the night.
Broughton:
Hmmm. Do you want a drink, or will you pass now?
Aga Ben Dragore: [as Kaney is making tea for the household]
Six cups? That's just... just four too many. Eh?
Kaney:
Tell me about Egypt. Have you ever seen a shiek?
Aga Ben Dragore: [Imperiously folding his arms]
I am one!
Kaney: [Shocked; drops knife; he hands it back]
What? Thank you. Then how should I address you? Oh - I'm cutting sandwiches for a sheikh! I don't feel quite well.
Aga Ben Dragore:
Oh, don't be alarmed. We're not as uncivilised as people think.
Kaney:
Oh, don't say that! Do you ride a white stallion?
Aga Ben Dragore:
Sometimes.
Kaney:
Down the path of the moon! The noble animal plunging and frothing at the nostrils till it founders at your feet, faithful unto death!

Randall:
Oh, thank you, sir.

Yes, well, I am the nice one.
