There have been moments when I should like to go and kneel down by your father's grave: he did perhaps a better thing than he knew when he put it into my power to marry a poor man--a man who has borne his poverty with such dignity, with such indifference.

Mr.Osmond has never scrambled nor struggled--he has cared for no worldly prize.

If that's to be narrow, if that's to be selfish, then it's very well.

I'm not frightened by such words, I'm not even displeased; I'm only sorry that you should make a mistake.

Others might have done so, but I'm surprised that you should.
