LINES FROM THE TEXT:

Asked no better fate than to have every minute occupied

Awe-inspiring thing, the power of scandal

Better, sir, it should run a risk than have no risk to run

Cheery-looking apathy--not far removed perhaps from despair

Contrivances that hold even the best of women together

Could not cry!

Detached, and perhaps sarcastic face

Electors, who, finding uncertainty distasteful

Excellent manners that have no mannerisms

Faculty of not being bored with his own society

Feeling of irritation which so rapidly attacks the old

Few things that matter, but they matter very much

Having that passion for work requiring no initiation

He suffers from swollen principles

Horse could ever so far forget himself in such a place

I won't ever want what you can't give

If only there were no chains, no walls

Impossible to get him to look at things in a complicated way

Insinuations about the private affairs of others

Insolent poise of those who are above doubts and cares

Lest they should lose belief in their own strength

Man who gives advice is a fool

Man who knows his own mind and is contented with that knowledge

Mayn't they love each other, if they want?

Never talked of women, and none talked of women in his presence

Not being a crying woman, she suffered quietly

Not going to cry, she wanted time to get over the feeling

Not necessary to speak in order to sustain a conversation

Not the man to see what was not intended for him

Occasionally employing irony, she detested it in others

Old age was pathetically trying

People who wanted to meddle with everything

Royal Family if they were allowed to marry as they liked?

Scandal.: Simple statements of simple facts

Secrecy is strength

Secret spring of certainty

She experienced the worst: She could not cry!

Solemn delicious creatures, all front and no behind

Speech seemed but desecration

Temperamentally unable to beg anything of anybody

The boy--for what else was thirty to seventy-six?

They forgot everything but happiness

To a woman the preciousness of her reputation was a fiction

To shut one's eyes, and be happy--was it possible!

Touching evidences of man's desire to persist for ever

Trouble of youth lasted on almost to old age

Unbound as yet by the fascination of fame or fees

What a man has most desired shall in the end enslave him?

Withdrawing room

Would almost sooner have died than disgrace a horse

THE BURNING SPEAR
