| you for a kiss you wouldn’t give it me: you’d say you’d
| rather not.”

| I hold another creed: which no one ever taught me, and which I
| seldom mention; but in which I delight, and to which I cling:
| for it extends hope to all: it makes Eternity a rest—a mighty
| home, not a terror and an abyss. Besides, with this creed, I can
| so clearly distinguish between the criminal and his crime; I can
| so sincerely forgive the first while I abhor the last: with this
| creed revenge never worries my heart, degradation never too deeply
| disgusts me, injustice never crushes me too low: I live in calm,
| looking to the end.”

| walked about the chamber most of the time. I imagined myself only
| to be regretting my loss, and thinking how to repair it; but when
| my reflections were concluded, and I looked up and found that the
| afternoon was gone, and evening far advanced, another discovery
| dawned on me, namely, that in the interval I had undergone a
| transforming process; that my mind had put off all it had borrowed
| of Miss Temple—or rather that she had taken with her the serene
| atmosphere I had been breathing in her vicinity—and that now I
| was left in my natural element, and beginning to feel the stirring
| of old emotions. It did not seem as if a prop were withdrawn, but
| rather as if a motive were gone: it was not the power to be tranquil
| which had failed me, but the reason for tranquillity was no more

| Women are supposed to be very calm generally: but women feel just
| as men feel; they need exercise for their faculties, and a field
| for their efforts, as much as their brothers do; they suffer from
| too rigid a restraint, too absolute a stagnation, precisely as
| men would suffer; and it is narrow-minded in their more privileged
| fellow-creatures to say that they ought to confine themselves to
| making puddings and knitting stockings, to playing on the piano
| and embroidering bags. It is thoughtless to condemn them, or laugh
| at them, if they seek to do more or learn more than custom has
| pronounced necessary for their sex.

| draw your chair still a little farther forward: you are yet too
| far back; I cannot see you without disturbing my position in this
| comfortable chair, which I have no mind to do.”
