A woman's love is always freezing into fear. She wants everything, she is secure of nothing. This girl has a fine spirit — plenty of fire and pride and wit.

Page 494 - He had an almost reverential fondness for books — books themselves— and said he could not bear to treat them, or to see them treated, with disrespect. He told us it gave him pain to' see them turned on their faces, stretched open, or dog's-eared, or carelessly flung down, or in any way misused.
