It's delightful when your imaginations come true, isn't it?

And if you couldn't be loved, the next best thing was to be let alone.

One can't get over the habit of being a little girl all at once.

Plum puffs can't minister to a mind diseased or a world that's crumbling to pieces

I love pretty things; and I hate to look in the glass and see something that isn't pretty. It makes me feel so sorrowful—just as I feel when I look at any ugly thing. I pity it because it isn't beautiful.

Love you! Girl, you're in the very core of my heart. I hold you there like a jewel. Didn't I promise you I'd never tell you a lie? Love you! I love you with all there is of me to love. Heart, soul, brain. Every fibre of body and spirit thrilling to the sweetness of you. There's nobody in the world for me but you, Valancy.

Houses are like people - some you like and some you don't like - and once in a while there is one you love.
