I don't judge her; she 's an extraordinary young person.

She has been told twenty times a day by her mother, since she was five years old, that she is a beauty of beauties, that her face is her fortune, and that, if she plays her cards, she may marry a duke.

If she has not been fatally corrupted, she is a very superior girl.

My own impression is that she is a mixture of good and bad, of ambition and indifference.

Mrs.Light, having failed to make her own fortune in matrimony, has transferred her hopes to her daughter, and nursed them till they have become a kind of monomania.
