Love, if I may be permitted so to name it in this guise, has its uncertainties, its violent agitations, its irresolute resolutions and an abyss of jealousies." And further: "Ah!
I understand that the intriguing mammas consider him the largest game in the city." "When hunting degenerates into the chase and capture of insects, you may style him game. Between his champagne and silly love-making, he was as bad as a dose of ipecac." Christine spoke freely to her father of her admirers, usually making them the themes of satire and jest.
She is courageous to the point of aimless recklessness, so full of character that she might be termed obstinate; sympathetic and soft-hearted to the verge of sentimentality.

Between officer and man there is a marked respect, and a marked good fellowship which never degenerates into familiarity. There is love between the English officer and the English soldier.
