[The Black Baronet; or, The Chronicles Of Ballytrain by William Carleton]@TWC D-Link bookThe Black Baronet; or, The Chronicles Of Ballytrain CHAPTER XVI 10/32
But I know not how it is, I fear that girl.
Her moral ascendency, as they call it, is so dreadful to me, that I often feel as if I hated her.
What right has she to subjugate a spirit like mine, by the influence of her sense of honor and her virtuous principles? or to school me to my face by her example? I am not a man disposed to brook inferiority, yet she sometimes makes me feel as if I were a monster.
However, she is a fool, and talks of happiness as if it were anything but a chimera or a dream.
Is she herself happy? I would be glad to see the mortal that is.
