I wonder what he can find about me to hold me still dear in his eyes, for I am no longer pretty, willful, madcap Dorothy, as they once called me." The night of the ball came at last the night which had been looked forward to so anxiously for weeks by many a maiden and brave swain.
At length, in yielding a reluctant acquiesence, Hannah said: "I would never countenance this never, Nora! but for one reason; it is that I know, whether I consent or not, you two, weak and willful and passionate as you are, will rush into this imprudent marriage all the same! And I think for your sake it had better take place with my sanction, and in my presence, than otherwise."
I appreciate her more every day as I think it over." "Oh, I thank you for that. It seems to me that I must have been willful at times; but I wanted to take her out of that narrow round as well as myself. I felt so certain I could do it after we came to Mrs. Barrington's.

An acute perception that it was in my power to escape a moral penalty, by willful ignorance, was revealed to me, that I could continue the privilege of sinning with impunity. His answer was complicated, and he quoted several passages from the Scriptures. Presently he began to sing, and I grew lonesome; the life within me seemed a black cave.
It is quite clear to me that whatever the business is, there is little good in it; and it is so desirable for you to disentangle yourself from any appearance of willful connection with it, that I would counsel you to see her husband, if you can, and wash your hands of it by a plain statement of the facts. I have a misgiving that there is something dark at work here, Tom.
"Some girls are very silly and willful," tartly remarked Mrs. Dinks. "I suppose," said Fanny, with extraordinary coolness, continuing the rôle of the arch maid of seventeen "I suppose, if every thing one hears is true, we may congratulate you, dear Mrs. Dinks, upon an interesting event?"
