"There has never been an instance of a bluestocking being carried away by affairs of the heart" a statement which, though gathered from an unknown source, he believed implicitly. "What a strange antipathy," thought Pierre, "yet I used to like him very much."
So, too, Mr Bright a hearty good-natured fellow, who drew powerfully to Major Beak and hated Miss Bluestocking possessed the vigorous frame, animated air, and intelligent look which must have originated his name. But why go on?

An elderly country gentlewoman will often know more of character, and be able to illustrate it by more amusing anecdotes taken from the history of what has been said, done, and gossiped in a country town for the last fifty years, than the best bluestocking of the age will be able to glean from that sort of learning which consists in an acquaintance with all the novels and satirical poems published in the same period.
