“A lady, without a family, was the very best preserver of furniture in the world.”

“It's very hard, feeling that you're no more than a piece of unwanted furniture in this world.”

“But it is very foolish to ask questions about any young ladies — about any three sisters just grown up; for one knows, without being told, exactly what they are — all very accomplished and pleasing, and one very pretty. There is a beauty in every family. — It is a regular thing”

“The Pantechnicon stored and distributed a good deal of furniture as well. The very idea of a lady of good breeding visiting such a place. There would be tables lying about, on their sides, naked! Not to mention flaccid dirigibles! Alexia shuddered at the very idea.”

“Without a family,man,alone in the world, trembles with the cold.”

“No one should be deprived of love without the very best of reasons. ”
