Chapter 9 Quotes and Summary

Ok so chapter 9 goes like this:

Jack Brings back Sheila, he and his father argue. Depression hits, Davy leaves the lithography studio and begins work for the newspaper. Jack travels to find work, and is forced to walk home from Sydney to Melbourne. Sheila has a baby girl.

Okeydokey, here are some kwotes (my computer won't let me type the letter after p :(
By the way these are all from the new edition.

"I used to do everything in my power to preserve this sense of isolation." page 144

"It's me who runs this house, not your mother. It's me, see! And you just put that in your pipe and smoke it, my boy!" page 146

"'You don't bloody well know what you're talking about!' Jack snapped." page 147

"You know, Davy, you've made this place look real nice... absent minded professor, don't you?" page 149

"I spoke firmly, to ride myself over a little twinge of guilt... my isolation might yet be restored."
