"I have just been reading a novel which I think is very pretty, but which I do not like at all."

"I am tired of great men and great women, who are always good, and always doing good, and always saying good things."

"I have been so much amused with this place, that I have hardly known how to leave it."

"I am not at all disposed to be sentimental."

"I wish, with all my heart, that I was well settled at home, and I do not care how soon I am; but I have no hope of it."
