It is so cold, so very cold—and looks and feels so very much like snow, that if it were to any other place or with any other party, I should really try not to go out to-day.

I am going to Gretna Green, and if you cannot guess with who, I shall think you a simpleton, for there is but one man in the world I love, and he is an angel.

I am very grand indeed; I had the dignity of dropping out my mother's laudanum last night. I carry about the keys of the wine and closet, and twice since I began this letter have had orders to give in the kitchen.

How tired you must be after your journey! You must go to bed early, my dear—and I recommend a little gruel to you before you go.

You have good sense, and a sweet temper, and I am sure you have a grateful heart, that could never receive kindness without wishing to return it. I do not know any better qualifications for a friend and companion.

Ay, it is a fine thing to be young and handsome. Well! I was young once, but I never was very handsome—worse luck for me.

She is all gentleness and mildness when anybody is by; but she is a little fretful and perverse among ourselves.
