I was born 'neath a clouded star.

It has been strange to me to return to life and to feel that I have any sympathy with human beings, after the long interval of quiet and indifference which succeeded my marriage.

I have never known my husband to approve any act of mine which I myself valued.

The frozen ocean... of Boston life.

Politeness induces morality. Serenity of manners requires serenity of mind.
