Elizabeth."I feel my smile on my face as I understand what she is doing. Though it's a strange one, she has a name-sound just like I do, and she's telling me what it is. I try to make the same sounds." Ehh.beh." I frown. Why is her name-sound so difficult and so long? She frowns right back at me and says it again. "Elizabeth.""Beh-tah-babaa."She sighs and her forehead wrinkles. "Elizabeth. Eeee-lizzzz-ahh-beth.""Laahh..baaay."She taps her chest again." Beth! " The sound is shorter but still very odd." Beh-bet."" Beth, " she repeats. I've had enough. I reach out and touch her should." Beh."" Beth." I tap her a little harder and growl." Beh", I repeat. I tap her again. "BEH! "Her eyes widen a bit, and she inhales sharply. A moment later, her shoulders drop and she sighs." Beh, " she says quietly. Shay Savage
About This Quote

In the short story, The Heart of the Matter, by Graham Greene, it's described how the main character "said 'Beh' to his mistress. 'Be' is the verb for 'I love you', or 'I am sorry'. This is used to show that he really does love her, but he knows he cannot say it to her. The mistress was very pleased because it always took courage for him to say these words to her, and she thought he had just said it. He had not."
