Men are trash —I mean, pedophiles. Except Ralph. He’s in love with his cousin. But at least he has the decency not to act on his feelings, which is a low bar to set, yet still impossible to reach for any of the other men in this book.
Forgot about Bantling gallivanting about Europe with Henrietta. He’s the exception to the rule. I’ll be cheering for him from now on.

« She knew how to think - an accomplishment rare in women. »
It did seem too good to be true that a man should know how to write women in the 1900s 😑

« - I wish to choose my fate and know something of human affairs beyond what other people think it compatible with propriety to tell me.
- I shall be delighted to help you in any way in my power.
- The best way to help me will be to put as many hundred miles of sea between us as possible.
- One would think you were going to commit some atrocity!
- I wish to be free even to do that if the fancy takes me. »

- I’m glad he’s disappointed.
- Well then, as companions in this misfortune, make the best of it. »

« - I don’t need the aid of a clever man to teach me how to live. I can find it out for myself.
- Find out how to live alone? I wish that, when you have, you’d teach me.
She looked at him a moment, then with a quick smile:
- Oh, YOU ought to marry. »
Yes please put that stalker creep back in his place, I love this woman

« I really don’t want to marry, or to talk about it at all. I shall probably never do it. I’ve a perfect right to feel that way, and it’s no kindness to a woman to press her so hard, to urge her against her will. I can’t marry you simply to please you. »
This is a female character written by a man more than a century ago, so men today have absolutely no excuse for not understanding that no means no.

« I’ve got a fear in my heart that she’s going to marry one of these fell Europeans, and I want to prevent it. »
« Ah, I see. And to prevent it you want me to step in and marry her? »
« Not quite; that remedy would be as bad as the disease. »
