I sometimes think that had I not been something of a simpleton, I might at this time be a great court lady. Now, madam, said she, again taking Belle by the hand, 'do oblige me by allowing me to plait your hair a little?
Likewise my compositions are made up of crude notions of my own, inlaid with the brighter thoughts and riper opinions of the authors I have read. It seems to me that the great difficulty of writing is to make the language of the educated mind express our confused ideas, half feelings, half thoughts, when we are little more than bundles of instinctive tendencies.

There was little enough sympathy between mother and daughter. Mrs.
I feel for you, and feel with you, my dear I do, with my whole heart." So this scene in my life was, to all appearance, a scene closed forever.

The labyrinth of Science opes with wonders every day; And friendship hath full many a flower to cheer life's dreary way.

"You are old, Father William," the young man said, "And your hair has become very white; And yet you incessantly stand on your head Do you think, at your age, it is right?"
