And the world may say what it pleases about its being the exclusive province of men to woo: very few men do woo a woman who does not show herself ready to be wooed. It is a rare beauty or a rare spell of some sort which can draw a man past the barrier of a woman's honest, unaffected, and persistent unconsciousness of any thoughts of love or matrimony.
"What I mean is this: None can give comfort but those who know how to sympathize with the soul that craves it, who feel the sorrows of others as keenly as though they were their own. And this gift, my brethren, is, next to faith, the Christian grace which of all others best pleases our Heavenly Master. "I see it in my mind's eye!
If it pleases the Marquis de Bienville to repeat it, and you to give it credence, I can't stoop to correct it, even in my own defence." "God knows I'm not delving into scandal, Diane.

I should like to know why he can't marry that is, if anybody would have him when he pleases. Tell me; you know he is my brother-in-law." Miss Wodehouse had been thinking of Bessie Christian.

Your face is of the style Louis XII., hardly any color, well-formed nose; and you have the thing that pleases women, a something, I don't know what it is, which men take no account of themselves; it is in the air, the manner, the tone of the voice, the dart of the eye, the gesture, in short, in a number of little things which women see and to which they attach a meaning which escapes us.
A century of brushing wouldn't make it respectable." "Why not?" "Look at the length of it!" "Ah, but that pleases me!" Blake shook his head in mock seriousness. "These artists!

There is nothing astonishing in it; a king who tries to do his duty is almost forced into madness by his enormous task.
As I wish, at the same time, to find out whether my animals, with the magnificent lenses of their eyes, are able to distinguish colours and prefer one colour to another, I mix up bits of wool of different hues: there are red, green, white, and yellow pieces. If the Spider have any preference, she can choose where she pleases.
Yes, I am very fond of you, and yet I do not trust you. You tell me you love me greatly. It pleases me to have you say this. You perceive I am very candid this morning, Messer Guido.
