My intellect would contract, my brains would rust, in this remote place. Let Oscar live his quiet married life here. And let me go to the atmosphere that is fitter for me the atmosphere of London or Paris." He sighed, and fixed his eyes absently on the open hilly view from the summer-house door. "It's strange to see you depressed," I said.
"Childhood is like a mirror, catching and reflecting images. One impious or profane thought, uttered by a parent's lip, may operate upon the young heart like a careless spray of water thrown upon polished steel, staining it with rust, which no after scouring can efface."
I lay it to my great love of gayety, and the world.... I am now seventeen, and if some kind and great circumstance does not happen to me, I shall have my talents devoured by moth and rust. They will lose their brightness, and one day they will prove a curse instead of a blessing."
"'Know we not well how seventy times seven Wronging our mighty arms with rust, We dared not do the will of Heaven, Lest Heaven should hurl us in the dust." Miss Abercrombie quoted to him. He stared at her with puzzled old eyes. "I don't think that can apply to England," he said. "And in this case the people won't let them. We must have war."

We've made a truce with Tartar and with Turk, And from the Swedish power have naught to fear. Our martial spirit has been wasting long In slothful peace; our swords are red with rust. Up! and invade the kingdom of the Czar, And win a grateful and true-hearted friend, Whilst we augment our country's might and glory. MANY DEPUTIES. War! War with Moscow! OTHERS. Be it so resolved!
