CHAPTER XXIX
15/40

Girls may be shut up, as you propose.

I don't think nature intended to have them the obverse of men.

I 'm sure their mothers never designed that they should run away with footmen, riding-masters, chance curates, as they occasionally do, and wouldn't if they had points of comparison.

My opinion is that Prospero was just saved by the Prince of Naples being wrecked on his island, from a shocking mis-alliance between his daughter and the son of Sycorax.

I see it clearly.
