let me fly from this place!
'Do you consider,' said his companion to him, 'that you will be obliged to pay three months' rent, and to lose the produce of your garden? I do not wish to take any unfair advantage, and I beg therefore that you will take some days to consider of your determination.'
'It is utterly useless,' replied Felix; 'we can never again inhabit your cottage. The life of my father is in the greatest danger, owing to the dreadful circumstance that I have related. My wife and my sister will never recover their horror. I entreat you not to reason with me any more. Take possession of your tenement, and let me fly from this place.'
Felix trembled violently as he said this. He and his companion entered the cottage, in which they remained for a few minutes, and then departed. I never saw any of the family of De Lacey more.
Frankenstein, ch. 16

I don't know why I find this part hilarious, especially when Felix insists upon his landlord that he permit them to leave. "My wife and my sister will never recover their horror", "let me fly from this place" HAHAHAHAHA it's not supposed to be funny it's supposed to be sad dammit
