DIANA OF THE CROSSWAYS, V2 [GM#72][GM72V10.TXT]4466

A kindly sense of superiority

By resisting, I made him a tyrant

Carry explosives and must particularly guard against sparks

Depending for dialogue upon perpetual fresh supplies of scandal

Dose he had taken was not of the sweetest

Friendship, I fancy, means one heart between two

He was the maddest of tyrants--a weak one

He, by insisting, made me a rebel

Her feelings--trustier guides than her judgement in this crisis

I do not see it, because I will not see it

Inducement to act the hypocrite before the hypocrite world

Insistency upon there being two sides to a case--to every case

Intrusion of the spontaneous on the stereotyped would clash

Irony that seemed to spring from aversion

It is the best of signs when women take to her

Mistaking of her desires for her reasons

Mutual deference

Never fell far short of outstripping the sturdy pedestrian Time

Observation is the most, enduring of the pleasures of life

One might build up a respectable figure in negatives

Openly treated; all had an air of being on the surface

Owner of such a woman, and to lose her!

Paint themselves pure white, to the obliteration of minor spots

Quixottry is agreeable reading, a silly performance

Real happiness is a state of dulness

Reluctant to take the life of flowers for a whim

Rewards, together with the expectations, of the virtuous

Sleepless night

Smoky receptacle cherishing millions

Terrible decree, that all must act who would prevail

Vowed never more to repeat that offence to his patience

Was not one of the order whose Muse is the Public Taste

Wife and no wife, a prisoner in liberty

Women are taken to be the second thoughts of the Creator

World is ruthless, dear friends, because the world is hypocrite

World prefers decorum to honesty

Yawns coming alarmingly fast, in the place of ideas
