You cannot believe everything you hear

That's the way girls are isn't it? They swear eternal friendship, and then as soon as a man's in the case it's all forgotten.

But we disposable women have to be realistic in this life, you know. Else we get itchy and discontented and start contemplating the kitchen knife and wondering whether it wouldn't look nicer between someone's shoulder-blades.

I am no faint-heart when it comes to the unpleasant truth. Indeed I have always taken a bracing sort of pleasure in facing it.

Grown people with rational minds somehow do not know what's best for them.

A girl should set her sights on a man who has money; or if not, who can expect to come into money; or if not, who has moneyed connections.

I can always forgive where I understand.
