He died a few months before my last departure from Venice, leaving his widow in easy circumstances, and three well-educated sons, all with good positions, who may, for what I know, be still living with their mother. In June I went to the fair at Padua, and made the acquaintance of a young man of my own age, who was then studying mathematics under the celebrated Professor Succi.
She was contemporary with Alcaeus, and in her verses to him we plainly discern the feeling of unimpeached honor proper to a free-born and well-educated maiden. Alcaeus testifies that the attractions and loveliness of Sappho did not derogate from her moral worth when he calls her "violet-crowned, pure, sweetly smiling Sappho."
Chief of the influences that lead a certain number of well-educated young women towards sexual freedom is radical printed matter.

It is essential in the present day that all well-educated women should be able to speak at least in three languages." "Then I am sorry, Aunt Grace, for I am afraid you will despise me. I shall never be well educated in that sense of the word." Mrs. Hartrick was silent. "I will speak to your uncle," she said after a pause. "While you are here you can have lessons.
Mordaunt looked earnestly at the frank face of the speaker, and wondered that one so young, so well-educated, and, from his air and manner, evidently of gentle blood, should appear so utterly thrown upon his own resources.
I carried on shore with me the young man whose mother was starved to death, and the maid also: she was a sober, well-educated, religious young woman, and behaved so inoffensively, that every one gave her a good word.
