Quote #10
Eustacia made no reply, but she looked as if she could say as much upon that subject as he if she chose. (4.8.13)
This is a fantastic little detail about Eustacia and it's really cool how a seemingly small and insignificant sentence can pack so much meaning into it. In a way, Eustacia's "looks" speak for her. This sentence is also in contrast to Eustacia's tendency to say things without really meaning to around Clym and Damon.
Quote #11
"Yes, it must be concealed, seeing what has been whispered. How much easier are hasty actions than speeches that will excuse them!" (5.1.67)
Eustacia should write a self-help book with tips like that. It's notable that Eustacia finds actions easier than words, or claims to at least. Then again, when she chooses to, Eustacia seems to have a lot to say. And, as much as she's an action girl, she sometimes difficulty doing just that (her considered suicide-by-shooting, her botched elopement with Damon, twice).
Quote #12
"As there is ample time I will tell you, though you know well enough. I mean that it is extraordinary that you should be alone in my absence." (5.3.18)
Clym uses words as a weapon in his epic fight with Eustacia. He basically bludgeons her with words for an entire chapter. But here he accuses her of "knowing" what he is talking about, though he insists on "telling" her anyway. He seems to take pleasure in the "telling."
