Seite 24 - Ions eyelashes which give such softness to the eyes, were sni^jestive of a sweetness of character which was borne out by the gentleness of her manners. Few would have believed the material of the fabric was as hard as the exterior was smooth. Where self was not concerned, she was capable of kindness; but to win a point on which her vanity or ambition was interested, she was unscrupulous and cruel.
Seite 37 - It requires a sixth sense, which few possess, for a man to penetrate every fold of a woman's character; and few men permit a woman to tread the inner sanctuary of their souls. The touch-stone is wanting, and the measures with which the two sexes...
Seite 39 - She is one of those suggestive-looking women who are irresistible to men. There is a promise given by every turn of their figure, every glance of their eyes, every curve of their mouth, which excites as well as charms.
