“When Constance was born, Aunt Glo named her after the dormitory she lived in at college: Constance Hall.”

“To tell the truth, she didn't want to; she liked the constancy of preoccupation.”

“Constancy in love is a good thing; but it means nothing, and is nothing, without constancy in every kind of effort.”

“Poor Kate,” said Constance, “she’s lost her marbles.”

“Mr. Benedict: "After I woke up and composed myself, however, I realized the flowers must certainly be yours, Constance, to do with as you please. At any rate -- " Mr.Benedict broke off, for just then Constance jumped to her feet, snatched the bouquet from his desk, and hurled it into the wastebasket with all the force she could muster -- so hard that flower petals flew up out of the wastebasket like tiny pink butterflies. Then placing her hands against the wall to steady herself, she stomped one foot repeatedly into the wastebasket as if trying to put out a fire. "I see we are of the same opinion," said Mr. Benedict as Constance returned to her seat, and the others congratulated her on her judgment.”

“Constancy is the foundation of virtues”
