That's impossible! Mr. Henry shouted.
It was suppose to be impossible! Ioan snapped. I'm at logger heads as you are! Someone told me it wouldn't happen and it did! As much as we'd like to remember her like an angel lying in one piece at the bottom of the Atlantic, it'll never be so! She's destroyed! She ripped herself apart! I won't tell it any other way. You haven't answered the question, Mr. Saier. Is there or is there not a lady passenger staying in your home? Bride or courtesan? Which is it? You are the only thing I care about on this damn boat, and you'll have my last breath to ensure you get into those lifeboats safely, whether you consent or not. -Ioan Saier "I won't live with myself if I don't go," Ioan said. "I don't expect you to understand."
"Then I wish you had gone down with that ship!" Cora cried bitterly. "I'd rather pray for your soul in the Atlantic than watch you destroy yourself. I hope you are prepared to lose everything." "She planned this. I know she did. Cora made sure I didn't get off that ship. And all the while I thought she was dead and blamed myself for leaving her behind. Now she has everything."
