Bring me a cup of tea and the 'Times.'

Oh! was ever woman so blessed as I am.

I think people really marry far too much; it is such a lottery after all, and for a poor woman a very doubtful happiness.

Affairs go on, and all will take some shape or other, but it keeps one in hot water all the time.

Bring me a cup of tea and the 'Times.'

For a man to strike any women is most brutal, and I, as well as everyone else, think this far worse than any attempt to shoot, which, wicked as it is, is at least more comprehensible and more courageous.

I love peace and quiet, I hate politics and turmoil. We women are not made for governing, and if we are good women, we must dislike these masculine occupations.
