Every young lady may feel for my heroine in this critical moment, for every young lady has at some time or other known the same agitation.

Sense will always have attractions for me.

Business, you know, may bring you money, but friendship hardly ever does.

Follies and nonsense, whims and inconsistencies do divert me, I own, and I laugh at them whenever I can.

It sometimes is a disadvantage to be so very guarded. If a woman conceals her affection from the object of it, she may loose the opportunity of fixing him.

Facts or opinions which are to pass through the hands of so many, to be misconceived by folly in one, and ignorance in another, can hardly have much truth left.

Where the heart is really attached, I know very well how little one can be pleased with the attention of any body else.
