These pioneers and their followers have devised some admirable second bests admirable, that is, relatively to some of the pitiable methods which they have superseded, but relatively to the mother's breast not admirable at all.
Power and excitement; not to be pitied, but to be followed, wooed, adored; not to be forced on the second and third bests of the world, but to have the "chief seat," the daintest morsel, the beau role always had not this been her instinctive, unvarying demand on life? And now?
And he was bribed, in a secret visit, and with much coaxing from the little girls, to make real pockets instead of braided shams.

"It is very kind of you, Tom, to hold your tongue, and I thank you very much."
Woman must be a cook, but not a competitive cook; a school mistress, but not a competitive schoolmistress; a house-decorator but not a competitive house-decorator; a dressmaker, but not a competitive dressmaker. She should have not one trade but twenty hobbies; she, unlike the man, may develop all her second bests.
