  Besides, it is a_ _general Desire in Men, that their Ladies should keep Home, and therefore it is but reasonable they should make their Homes as delightful as it is possible; and therefore this Bubble of an Inventory is not to be thought the Effect of general Repentance, among your Servants and Adorers, but the capricious Malice of some Person envious of the little Remunerations of your Kindnesses for being disbandded from your Conversation; little indeed, considering the Rewards due to your Merits, otherwise it would be the greatest Injustice upon Earth for the Men to think of reforming the Women before they reform themselves, who are ten times worse in all respects, as you will have sufficient to retort upon them when you come by and by to the Matter._ _ In Answer to a late Pamphlet, Entituled, Mundus Muliebris: Or, The Ladies Dressing-Room Unlocked, _&c._

  An innocent child, Mr. President snapped, obviously kidnapped by those two idiotic Earthmen there! Oh, no, Grandpapa, Trillium said swiftly; I stole away all by myself, and Mr. O'Rielly and Callahan have been very helpful. Anything else now, Berta? I should like, Grandmamma President Berta said charmingly, that Mr. O'Rielly and Mr. Callahan be suitably rewarded for assisting our revolution better than they knew.

  So genteel! She's not a bad sort of girl, little Claire, said Enguerrand reflectively (thereby angering Jeanne afresh): but putting her aside,--of course you could always beat me at argument, Jeanne; you'd have made a much better lawyer than I. It is true that on this occasion the Council might have been called upon to consider and examine the title of the claimant, the late lamented official having only left a daughter,--she who now stands before you; but I am happy to say that Jeanne--the young lady in question--with what I am bound to call great good-feeling on her part, has saved us all trouble in that respect, by formally applying for the family post, with all its--er--duties, privileges, and emoluments; and her application appears to be--er--quite in order.

  And so after all we owe the ten commandments to a Jewish woman's wit, strategy and love, and an Egyptian woman's compassion and disobedience, for the stern command that Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river was not given to the army, the navy or the church, to one man or woman, to doctors or midwives, but to all the people, and in this affair there were a number of women, who all connived to foil the powers that be and refused to do the King's bidding. No: He sent for a wise woman, and we read that he instructed her what to do, but judging from other women we are sure she instructed him--anyway she went to the King, and she talked like a lawyer, she plead with eloquence, she confessed charmingly, and she flattered with the cunning of her sex, saying, for as an angel of God, so is my Lord the King to discern good and bad, and my Lord is wise, according to the wisdom of an angel of God, which you will admit was putting it pretty strong.

summary:
  But when mind has given dignity to natural affections; when reason, culture, taste, and delicacy, have combined to chasten, to refine, to exalt (shall I say) to sanctity them--Is there, then, no cause to complain of rigor and severity, that such minds must either passively submit to a vile traffic, or be content to relinquish all the endearing sympathies of life? In delineating the character of Emma Courtney, I had not in view these fantastic models: I meant to represent her, as a human being, loving virtue while enslaved by passion, liable to the mistakes and weaknesses of our fragile nature.--Let those readers, who feel inclined to judge with severity the extravagance and eccentricity of her conduct, look into their own hearts; and should they there find no record, traced by an accusing spirit, to soften the asperity of their censures--yet, let them bear in mind, that the errors of my heroine were the offspring of sensibility; and that the result of her hazardous experiment is calculated to operate as a _warning_, rather than as an example.--The philosopher--who is not ignorant, that light and shade are more powerfully contrasted in minds rising above the common level; that, as rank weeks take strong root in a fertile soil, vigorous powers not unfrequently produce fatal mistakes and pernicious exertions; that character is the produce of a lively and constant affection--may, possibly, discover in these Memoirs traces of reflection, and of some attention to the phænomena of the human mind.
