She is old-fashioned and I shock her.

As for other women, there isn't one anywhere to whom I would say a word.

Only think how a girl such as I am is placed; or indeed any girl.

You, if you see a woman that you fancy, can pursue her, can win her and triumph, or lose her and gnaw your heart;--at any rate you can do something.

You can tell her that you love her; can tell her so again and again even though she should scorn you.
