Strona 173 - There is scarcely a situation, except fire and water, in which a spider will not live. So let the mind be as naked as the walls of an empty and forsaken tenement, gloomy as a dungeon, or ornamented with the richest abilities of thinking ; let it be hot, cold, dark or light, lonely or inhabited, still prejudice, if undisturbed, will fill it with cobwebs, and live, like the spider, where there seems nothing to live on. If the one prepares her food by poisoning it to her palate and her use, the other...

Strona 173 - There is something exceedingly curious in the constitution, and operation of prejudice. It has the singular ability of accommodating itself to all the possible varieties of the human mind. Some passions and vices are but thinly scattered amoug mankind, and find only here and there a fitness of reception. But prejudice, like the spider, makes every where its home.
Strona 36 - To be, as a body may say, between hawk and buzzard ; too low for the drawing-room, too high for the kitchen ; belonging neither to the earth beneath nor the heavens above ; slighted by the mistress ; insulted by the servants ; winked at by the gentlemen visitors, and shook off* by the lady ones ; blamed for the faults of the children ; barked at by the dogs, scratched by the cats ; a thing without a place ; a free woman, treated as a born slave.
Strona 36 - Isw for the drawing-room, too high for the kitchen ; belonging neither to the earth beneath, nor the heavens above ; slighted by the mistress ; insulted by the servants; winked at by the gentlemen visitors, and shook off by the lady ones ; blamed for the faults of the children ; barked at by the dogs ; scratched by the cats; a thing without a place; a free woman, treated as a born slave. Listen to me avourneen. I have known at home and abroad, big and little, thirteen governesses in my time ; twelve...
Strona 174 - I never trembled so much; not, my dear Miss Lucy, so much for my own sake, as for the sake of the thirty poor families on the common, whose wants it had been my intention to relieve.
Strona 110 - And Katty having concluded a sort of conversation, if so it could be called, where the talking was all on one side, fell into a reverie, turning her small property over and over in her hand, and looking from the Duke's picture to her browning potatoes, and from her browning potatoes to the Duke's picture.
