Gas Light Quotes by Patrick Hamilton

“Haven’t you noticed it? And why is it? Because you have stayed in, and been kind to me.”
-Gas Light quotes by Patrick Hamilton

“The other night when you stayed in and played cards with me, it was like old days, and I went to bed feeling a normal, happy, healthy, human being. And then, the day after, when you read your book to me, Jack, and we sat by the fire, I felt all my love for you coming back, then, Jack. And I slept that night like a child. All those ghastly dreads and terrible, terrible fears seemed to have vanished. And all just because you had given me your time.”
