And the duty of a bosom-friend, besides rushing off at once to tell you if she hears anybody say anything nasty of you behind your back a thing which you never do is to sympathise with you in all your love-affairs a thing which you do even seldomer."
Moreover, this girl was the only daughter of a solitary and irascible old gentleman living in a remote island; and Ingram had not only undertaken that the love-affairs of the young folks should come all right thus assuming a responsibility which might have appalled the bravest but was also expected to inform the King of Borva that his daughter was about to be taken away from him.
So I set off in spite of her, feeling valiant and glad to be so easily brave, but a little sorry that she should think herself crossed by me. A thin cloud veiled the moon, and the way under the beeches was dark and indistinct. I was not so preoccupied with my love-affairs as to neglect what I will confess was always my custom at night across that wild and lonely park.
"They worshipped here, and endowed their temple with gold and jewels," she whispered, "and then they went into the Doge's Palace, and placed a word in the lion's mouth which meant death or destruction to their best friends! A wonderful people, those old Venetians! Sly and fierce cruel and passionate but with ever a shrewd smile in their eye, even in their love-affairs.
MY MOTHER: "You can do what you like in life if you can hold your tongue, but the world is relentless to people who are found out." She told my father that if he interfered with my love-affairs I should very likely marry a groom.
"Here you are taking all the pleasure out of that poor child's little love-affair, going about as you do." "There are other things besides love-affairs," said Sylvia, in a strange, monotonous tone, almost as if she were deaf and dumb, and had no knowledge of inflections. "There are affairs between the soul and its Maker that are more important than love betwixt men and women."
From the love of man for woman we guess the love of God, just as the scientist from a single bone constructs the skeleton aye! and then clothes it with a complete garment. In their love-affairs women are seldom wise, or men just. How should we expect them to be when but yesterday woman was a chattel and man a slave-owner?
Rousseau saw the evils and called attention to them, but he did not exactly cause them bless me! His little love-affairs with elderly ladies, and grateful, should not be confused with the atrocious cruelties and inhumanities that existed in France and had existed for a hundred years and more.
It was indeed hopeless, Miss Bracy being one of those women who take it for granted that a man has been inveigled as soon as his love-affairs run counter to their own wishes or taste; and who thereby reveal an estimate of man for which in the end they are pretty sure to pay heavily. All her answer now was a frankly incredulous stare. "You won't believe me, miss.
All these make a fairly good bead-roll of love-affairs for a busy, ugly, and half-savage man. It is not so long as Leporello's list of Don Juan's conquests, "but, marry, t'will do, t'will serve." And more are to come.
