- Death of Prince
- 'the groan had proceeded from her father's horse Prince'
- 'The pointed shaft of the cart had entered the breast of the unhappy Prince like a sword'
- 'from the wound his life's blood was spouting in a stream'
- 'Tess sprang forward and put her hand upon the hole, with the only result that she became splashed from face to skirt with crimson drops'
- "Tis all my doing-all mine!"
- 'Nobody blamed Tess as she blamed herself'
- 'she regarded herself in the light of a murderess'
- 'Nobody blamed Tess as she blamed herself'
- "Tis all my doing-all mine!"
- 'Prince also stood firm and motionless as long as he could; till he suddenly sank down in a heap'
- 'the hole in his chest looking scarcely large enough to have let out all that had animated him'

- 'Did you say that stars are worlds'? "yes"
- "Most of them splendid and sound, a few blighted"
- "Which star do we live on?"
- "a blighted one"
- "'Tis because we be on a blighted star Tess?"
- "a blighted one"
- "'Tis very unlucky that we didn't pitch on a sound one, when there were so many more of them"
- "How would it have been if we had pitched on a sound one?"
- "father wouldn't have coughed and creeped about as he does, and wouldn't have got too tipsy to go this journey"
- "and mother wouldn't have been always washing, and never getting finished"
- "And you would have been a rich lady ready-made, and not have had to marry a rich gentleman"
- "father wouldn't have coughed and creeped about as he does, and wouldn't have got too tipsy to go this journey"
- 'Did you say that stars are worlds'? "yes"

- 'laughing at her poverty'
- 'to see him as a grimacing personage'
- 'the gentlemanly suitor awaiting herself in her mother's fancy'
