Admiration: Love of admiration plays old Harry with women Careless pity of the young for the old Clothes were unostentatiously perfect Decreed of mothers that their birth pangs shall not cease Desired his emotion to be forgotten Did not intend to think of the future--present is bad enough Have never known the luxury of breaking down Head had been rendered somewhat bald by thought Hopelessly hopeful Imagination he distrusted Inborn sense that she had no need to ask for things Inconsistency between his theory and his dismay Infirmity had been growing on him ever since his marriage Just as well be a dog as a girl, for anything anyone tells you Man to whom things do not come too easily Nature is ironical No real safety but in the past None of them wished to be the first to speak Only command likely to be obeyed that came into his head Only just waiting till to-morrow morning--to kill something Pendyces never asked their way to anything People won't make allowances for each other Perceiving her to be a lady, he went away She had been born unconscious of her neighbours' scrutinies Stumbling its little way along with such blind certainty Taken its stand no sooner than it must, no later than it ought That which a well-bred woman leaves unanswered Things that people do get about before they've done them! Thrilling at the touch of each other's arms What does 'without prejudice' in this letter mean?
