I take particular pleasure in making this tribute to my "sisters" tact and wit, as I have been accused of being "hard" on American women, and some half-humorous criticisms have been taken seriously by over-susceptible women doubtless troubled with guilty consciences for nothing is more exact than the old French proverb, "It is only the truth that wounds."
He took a tone of grand seigneur that sometimes wounded me; and I in turn was perhaps too rude in asserting my rights as creditor, shall I say? no, as fellow-citizen; and Frenchmen are so vain, so over-susceptible; fire up at a word; take offence when none is meant.

These feelings, thus cherished, made my nerves over-susceptible and acute.
