Resume your seat, mademoiselle, and do not be angry with me.
I am studying you for your own good.

In the meantime permit me to analyze your words a little.

You are young and inexperienced.

You speak of the 'over-sensitiveness, the fatal delicacy, the highly-strung nervousness of the feminine nature.' My dear lady, if you had lived as long as I have, you would know that these are mere stock phrases--for the most part meaningless.

As a rule, women are less sensitive than men.
