Quote #7
Parsefall couldn't sleep. He was plagued by two powerful enemies of slumber: hurt pride and an upset stomach. His stomach muscles jerked and strained, trying to subdue the half-digested mess inside: oysters, mashed turnips, eel pie, sausages, and a pudding compounded from treacle and suet. A wave of nausea passed over him, and he wondered if he was going to be sick. (22.1)
This kid never catches a break. The one time that he has enough money to go to a puppet show and eat whatever he wants, he ends up feeling awful afterward. He's not used to all of that rich food.
Quote #8
He had seen her shabby lodgings and sat by her meager fire. He remembered the darns and patches on her frock, and the way the sole of her boot parted from the upper. How could he, who had lived in comfort all his life, condemn her for stealing? The girl had no one to provide for her, no one to protect her. (28.18)
Now that Dr. Wintermute has had time to reflect, he feels bad about yelling at Lizzie Rose. Even if the girl is a thief, how can he hold it against her? It's obvious that she's been through a lot of struggle and strife in her life.
Quote #9
Parsefall's face was unreadable, but Clara seemed to feel his thoughts. They were like splinters of glass when a mirror breaks: jagged, brittle, darting in all directions. He knew he was going to be hurt, but he didn't know how, or how much. He fastened his eyes on Grisini's face, desperate to anticipate what might happen next. (33.32)
When Parsefall realizes that Grisini is at Strachan's Ghyll, he is totally terrified. He knows what Grisini is capable of, and he has been subjected to his violent whims before. He doesn't want to be hurt by the sadistic magician now.
