'Yes, I am jealous of you! she said, with low-voiced passion; 'and you know very well that I've had some cause to be. He was silent. Through both their minds there passed the memory of some episodes in their married life slight, but quite sufficient to show that John Fenwick was a man of temperament inevitably attracted by womankind. He murmured that she had made mountains out of mole-hills.
For three of them Donna felt a genuine regard; she realized that their visit was actuated by a desire to help her, if she required help, to lend her their moral support in the face of suspicion, whether just or otherwise. The other three, including Mrs. Pennycook, Donna knew for that detestable type of womankind best known and described as "catty."
As it is, while I am at one moment rapt in enthusiastic admiration of the strength and grace, the power and pathos, the hidden resources, the profound capabilities of my race, at another, I could wish, Nero-like, that all mankind were concentrated in one person, and all womankind in another, that I might take them, after the fashion of rural schoolmasters, and shake their heads together.
"My kinsman loves not womankind, and neither in his castles nor yet in his company does he permit any of the sex long to abide."
These reflections reminded him of the heartiness of his whipping of that poor old tumbled signpost Shrapnel, in the name of outraged womankind. If there was no outrage? Assuredly if there was no outrage, consideration for the state of his wife would urge him to speak the apology in the most natural manner possible. She vowed there was none.
"Is it quite fair to this young woman's memory to read at such length to a stranger what was intended for your eye alone?" "Well, yes," said Henchard.

"If I were you I would destroy them," said Farfrae, giving more thought to the letters than he had hitherto done.
"She shall represent her sex; she shall be the embodiment, the epitome of womankind the heart and brain, I may say, of God's masterpiece of creation. In this guise she shall judge and decide the question which follows: "But a few minutes ago our friend, Mr. Rose, favoured us with an entertaining but fragmentary sketch of the romance in the life of the former professor of this habitation.
Because, slothfully, by His neglect, or, wantonly, for His amusement, the Creator has tortured us, maiming, distorting us up as a laughing-stock before all man and womankind because He has played a ghastly and brutal practical joke on us, fixing the marks of low comedy in our living flesh and bone therefore we, forsooth, are to be more pious, more clean-living, temperate, and discreet than the rest to bow amiably beneath the cross, gratefully to kiss the rod!
Without wishing to alarm the American people, or create a panic, I desire briefly and seriously to discuss the great question, "Whither are we drifting, and what is to be the condition of the coming man?" We can not shut our eyes to the fact that mankind is passing through a great era of change; even womankind is not built as she was a few brief years ago.
This teaches us to look upon womankind more as the instruments of our salvation than of our pleasure. Besides which, this narrative teaches us that we should never attempt to struggle with the Churchmen. The king and the queen had found this tale in the best taste; the courtiers confessed that they had never heard a better; and the ladies would all willingly have been the heroines of it.
