Quote #4
Mr. Thornton saw her beautiful eyes lifted to her father, full of light, half-laughter and half-love, as this bit of pantomime went on between the two, unobserved, as they fancied, by any. (1.10.2)
Seeing Margaret exchange a look of love with her father makes John Thornton slightly jealous. At this point in the book, he hasn't yet admitted to himself that he loves her. But here, you can already see some unconscious traces of it.
Quote #5
"There are three people I love: it's missus, Master Frederick, and her." (1.16.53)
The servant Dixon is a loyal woman, and she loves her employers as if they were family. After all, it's not that hard when your employers treat you well and respect you as a human being. Plus Dixon has history on her side, since she's been with Mrs. Hale since before the woman married Mr. Hale.
Quote #6
Her daughter left her after dinner, sitting in her easy chair, with her hand lying in her husband's, who looked more worn and suffering than she by far. (1.21.40)
It's hard to tell who's dying, Mrs. Hale or her husband. By the looks of things, Mrs. Hale's illness has taken more out of her husband than out of her. But all in all, this image of them holding hands is really sweet, since it's the only moment of true tenderness we see between the two of them, and it reminds us just how much they love one another. We're getting a little misty-eyed.
