“Each of us had our especial pensioners. The young girls were his favourites, the good old people mine. He gave away fine gowns, 1 gave
soup and wine; he made them dance, I filled their snuff*- boxes; he diffused joy, I removed pain. In truth, my grandfather protected those whose birth he had witnessed, and I consoled those who had bent round my cradle.” Marie Capelle |

“Mon Dieu! Mademoiselle! Were you run away with?" he said to me, earnestly.
"Yes, carried off by a desire of independence, but not by my horse." " What! does the word independence find a place in the dictionary of a woman of the world?" " No, certainly not; but it is a word engraven on all our young hearts, and is one for which I have a particular esteem.” ...more Marie Capelle |

“there was something so matter-of-fact and reasonable in his declaration, it was so impossible
to poetise it, that I could not find it in my heart to enter the
reality of existence without first seeing some of my cherished
illusions blossom and fade. It would have seemed to me
that I was burning some of the fairest leaves of the book of my destiny, to arrive the quicker at the last page; and I could not conceive of an end without a beginning.”

“My child, God ever places resignation near
to grief; the thought which causes me to weep, is also the thought which consoles me; my country is no longer in
this world, and death which separates us in time, reunites us in eternity." -Madame de Valence”

“God has not
lighted in his creatures the light of intellect that it may be
extinguished in' holocaust on the altar of mediocrity; every man, ay, and I dare to think, every woman, should carve out a route according to his or her character; and progression should be our first necessity, as our final duty.”

“As
for my sister, I loved her with mingled feelings of solicitude and affection, belonging rather to a mother than a friend. She had an excellent heart, and invariable sweetness of temper; and there was in her character an utter forgetfulness of
self, which, while it contributed to her present, assured her
future happiness; and I, who was fully sensible how un- happy I was in my thoughts, now so mournful, and now so
bright, that they deprived reality of all pleasure; I who suf- fered so often at bending those thoughts to the exigencies of
real life, dared not share them with her; and acknowledged
that God made her better and wiser than her unhappy sister Marie.”

“Do
not believe a word of what Cyrus tells you; he endows himself with imaginary vices to surprise you, and to give himself
a position in the world of your children's children."
I have lost all clue to the j)aths of Cyrus; I do not know now whether he is a diplomatist, a lion, a sportsman, or a dandy; only, wherever or whatever he may be, sure I am
that he is a man of wit and a man of honour.”
