“Oh dear, life is pretty tough sometimes, isn't it?”

“...but, dear me, let us be elegant or die.”

“Be comforted, dear soul! There is always light behind the clouds.”

“Dear me! how happy and good we'd be, if we had no worries!”

“Oh, don't I wish I could manage things for you as I do for my heroines! You're pretty enough and good enough already, so I'd have some rich relation leave you a fortune unexpectedly; then you'd dash out as an heiress, scorn everyone who has slighted you, go abroad, and como home my Lady Something in a blaze of splendor and elegance.”

“Watch and pray, dear, never get tired of trying, and never think it is impossible to conquer your fault.”

“…Jo loved a few persons very dearly and dreaded to have their affection lost or lessened in any way.”
