A Farewell to Arms Helen Ferguson Quotes

Helen Ferguson

Quote 1

"But watch out you don’t get her in trouble. You get her in trouble and I’ll kill you." (17.25)

Helen Ferguson thinks of being pregnant as being in trouble. She sounds like what we might expect a father or a brother to sound like. Later, when Frederic comes to Stresa after leaving the retreat, she sounds more like what we expect a mother to sound like when she cries about Frederic and Catherine not being married.
