Living too much in one's head can be dangerous.

A young woman, newly wed, may find herself in the delightful position of wanting to do nothing without the company of her darling husband. She may indeed discover that she spends all her waking hours with her fellow to the exclusion of every other friend or family member. This is understandable, but wholly unacceptable, to society.

He was just like summer, and she loved summer. If she had any wish, it would be to live a lifetime of summers.

She felt so much aware of her own beauty it seemed inconceivable that everybody else wouldn't notice the difference too.

A lady must retain always her composure. Even in a rainstorm, she must appear joyous and dry. When she loses her composure, then the respect of her peers and her staff will follow in short order.

It is well known that a man, when wooing a lady to be his wife, must first win over the females she most confides in—her friends, of course, and her sister, if she has one.

So this is how life was, she thought with a faint smile: It wore you down until you emerged at its wildest, most unexpected ends.
