“Ah! what could we do but what we did! We sighed and fainted on the Sofa.”

“Never did I see such an affecting Scene as was the meeting of Edward and Augustus.'My Life! my Soul!' (exclaimed the former). 'My Adorable Angel!' (replied the latter) as they flew into each other's arms. It was too pathetic for the feelings of Sophia and myself -- We fainted alternately on a sofa.”

“It isn't what we say or think that defines us, but what we do.”

“Sophia shrieked and fainted on the ground – I screamed and instantly ran mad. We remained thus mutually deprived of our senses, some minutes, and on regaining them were deprived of them again. For an Hour and a Quarter did we continue in this unfortunate situation – Sophia fainting every moment and I running mad as often. At length a groan from the hapless Edward (who alone retained any share of life) restored us to ourselves.”

“For what do we live, but to make sport for our neighbors, and laugh at them in our turn?”

“We all love to instruct, though we can teach only what is not worth knowing.”

“How quick come the reasons for approving what we like.”
