[A Terrible Temptation by Charles Reade]@TWC D-Link bookA Terrible Temptation CHAPTER VIII 13/39
Oh! oh! oh! Bless her! Bless her! If ever there was a good woman in the world, that is one. She was not born a lady, I am afraid; but that is nothing: she was born a woman, and I mean to make her acquaintance, and take her for my example in all things.
No, dear papa, women are not so pitiful to women without cause.
She is almost a stranger, yet she cried for me.
Can you be harder to me than she is? No; pity your poor girl, who will lose her health, and perhaps her life.
Pity poor Charles, stung by an anonymous viper, and laid on a bed of sickness for me.
