'Miserable! she said, dashing a tear from her eyes, 'I must go and lie down then in the proper missish fashion. Mind, on your peril, Catherine, not a word to any one but Robert. I shall tell Agnes.

She provided candy and chocolate in all their forms and phases, but all girls ate candy and chocolate, and they were so missish, and so indistinctive, and they both went so badly with tea, which she must have because of the weird effect of the spirit-lamp under the kettle, that she disused them after the first week.

For me, I feel that it is my duty to be true to myself. I will not condescend to indulge my heart at the cost of my pride as a woman." "Oh, Florence, I hate that word pride."
