DIANA OF THE CROSSWAYS, V1 [GM#71][GM71V10.TXT]4465

A witty woman is a treasure; a witty Beauty is a power

At war with ourselves, means the best happiness we can have

Beauty is rare; luckily is it rare

Between love grown old and indifference ageing to love

But they were a hopeless couple, they were so friendly

Charitable mercifulness; better than sentimental ointment

Dedicated to the putrid of the upper circle

Dreaded as a scourge, hailed as a refreshment (Scandalsheet)

Elderly martyr for the advancement of his juniors

Favour can't help coming by rotation

Flashes bits of speech that catch men in their unguarded corner

For 'tis Ireland gives England her soldiers, her generals too

Get back what we give

Goodish sort of fellow; good horseman, good shot, good character

Grossly unlike in likeness (portraits)

He had by nature a tarnishing eye that cast discolouration

He had neat phrases, opinions in packets

He was not a weaver of phrases in distress

He's good from end to end, and beats a Christian hollow (a hog)

Her final impression likened him to a house locked up and empty

Herself, content to be dull if he might shine

His gaze and one of his ears, if not the pair, were given

How immensely nature seems to prefer men to women!

Human nature to feel an interest in the dog that has bitten you

I have and hold--you shall hunger and covet

Idea is the only vital breath

If I'm struck, I strike back

Inclined to act hesitation in accepting the aid she sought

Lengthened term of peace bred maggots in the heads of the people

Loathing for speculation

Mare would do, and better than a dozen horses

Matter that is not nourishing to brains

Music was resumed to confuse the hearing of the eavesdroppers

Needed support of facts, and feared them

O self! self! self!

Or where you will, so that's in Ireland

Our bravest, our best, have an impulse to run

Perused it, and did not recognize herself in her language

Pride in being always myself

Procrastination and excessive scrupulousness

Read deep and not be baffled by inconsistencies

Service of watering the dry and drying the damp (Whiskey)

She had a fatal attraction for antiques

She marries, and it's the end of her sparkling

Smart remarks have their measured distances

Something of the hare in us when the hounds are full cry

Swell and illuminate citizen prose to a princely poetic

That is life--when we dare death to live!

That's the natural shamrock, after the artificial

The burlesque Irishman can't be caricatured

The well of true wit is truth itself

They create by stoppage a volcano

This love they rattle about and rave about

Tooth that received a stone when it expected candy

We live alone, and do not much feel it till we are visited

Weather and women have some resemblance they say

What a woman thinks of women, is the test of her nature

Where she appears, the first person falls to second rank

You are entreated to repress alarm

You beat me with the fists, but my spirit is towering
