“Mr. Pontellier, unable to read his newspaper with any degree of comfort, arose with an expression and an exclamation of disgust… Mr. Pontellier had the privilege of quitting their society when they ceased to be entertaining ”pg 5

"It was eleven o’clock that night when Mr. Pontellier returned from Klein’s hotel. He was in an excellent humor, in high spirits, and very talkative. His entrance awoke his wife, who was in bed and fast asleep when he came in." pg 12

“He thought it was very discouraging that his wife … valued so little [of] his conversation. Mr. Pontellier had forgotten the bonbons and peanuts for the boys. Notwithstanding he loved them very much, and went into the adjoining room where they slept to take a look at them and make sure that they were resting comfortably.” (12)

“He thought it very discouraging that his wife, who was the sole object of his existence, evinced so little interest in things which concerned him, and valued so little his conversation” (13).

"She made no mention of her encounter with death and her flash of terror, except to say to her husband, "I thought I should have perished out there alone." "You were not so very far, my dear; I was watching you," he told her." (48)

“‘This is more than folly,’ he blurted out. ‘I can’t permit you to stay out there all night. You must come in the house instantly’” pg 53

“Mr. Pontellier had prepared for bed, but he slipped on an extra garment. He opened a bottle of wine, of which he kept a small and select supply in a buffet of his own. He drank a glass of the wine and went out on the gallery and offered a glass to his wife.” Pg 53

" "This is more than folly," he blurted out. "I can't permit you to stay out there all night. You must come in the house instantly." " (53)

“Mr. Pontellier was very fond of walking about his house examining it various appointments and details, to see that nothing was amiss…he greatly valued his possessions” (83).

“Out! Exclaimed her husband, with something like genuine consternation in his voice as he laid down the vinegar cruet and looked at her through his glasses. Why, what could have taken you out on Tuesday? What did you have to do? …. Well, I hope you left some suitable excuse, said her husband, somewhat appeased, as he added a dash of cayenne pepper to the soup … Why, my dear, I should think you’d understand by this time that people don’t do such things; we’ve got to observe les conveniences if we ever expect to get on and keep up with the procession.” Pg84 - 85

“You know I have a quick temper, but I don’t want to quarrel or be rude to a women, especially my wife; yet I’m driven to it, and feel like ten thousand devils after I’ve made a fool of myself. She’s making it devilishly uncomfortable for me, he went on nervously” (108).

“She’s odd, she’s not like herself. I can’t make her out, and I thought perhaps you’d help me.” Pg 109

“Mr.Pontellier declined to interfere, to interpose either his influence of his authority. He was following Doctor Mandelet’s advice, and letting her do as she liked” (119).

“When Mr. Pontellier learned of his wife’s intention to abandon her home and take up her residence elsewhere, he immediately wrote her a letter of unqualified disapproval and remonstrance.” Pg 155

“but remembering Edna’s whimsical turn of mind of late, and foreseeing that she had immediately acted upon her impetuous determination, he grasped the situation with his usual promptness and handle it with his well known business tact and cleverness.” Pg 155
