'Then why why the devil did she marry the poor chap? There was an odd sort of appeal in his voice; appeal against the cruelty of fate, perhaps, or the perverseness of Jane. I told him what I thought, as clearly as I could. 'She got carried away by the excitement of her life in Paris, and he was all mixed up with that.
Then she reflected. "And what had you been saying to draw such a remark from him?" "I said I didn't want to be married," Beth blurted out with an effort. "How could you tell Count Gustav such a story, Beth?" Mrs. Caldwell asked, shaking her head reproachfully. "It was no story, mamma." "Nonsense, Beth," her mother rejoined. "It is nothing but perverseness that makes you say such things.
Benevolence, yet lingering in a few bosoms, makes some faint expiring struggles, till at length self-love resumes his wonted empire and lords it triumphant over the world. No human institutions here existed, to the perverseness of which Mr Godwin ascribes the original sin of the worst men. No monopoly had been created of those advantages which reason directs to be left in common.
And this wilderness can be safely traversed only by having relays of fountains, or stages for refreshment. Such stages, they conceive, are found in the several meals which Providence has stationed at due intervals through the day, whenever the perverseness of man does not break the chain, or derange the order of succession.

Perverseness and his unhealthy belief that he would master her in the end, that she would one day break down and come to him, willing to take his view in all things, and to be his slave all this drove him farther and farther on a fatal, ever-broadening path. Success had spoiled him.
Thus preaching to Alfred, when he confided to her the fluctuations of rapture and despair that were his lot in his intercourse with the sometimes radiant and inviting, sometimes forbidding sprite, whose wings he would fain bind with his embrace, and thus reassuring herself, when perplexed by a flash of Rosa's native perverseness, Mrs. Sutton was sanguine that all would come right in the end.
