TO LIVE, FOR ME, JANE, IS TO STAND ON A CRATER-CRUST WHICH MAY CRACK AND SPUE FIRE ANY DAY.
I don’t know the gentlemen here.  I have scarcely interchanged a syllable with one of them; and as to thinking well of them, I consider some respectable, and stately, and middle-aged, and others young, dashing, handsome, and lively: but certainly they are all at liberty to be the recipients of whose smiles they please, without my feeling disposed to consider the transaction of any moment to me.
YOU DON’T KNOW THE GENTLEMEN HERE? YOU HAVE NOT EXCHANGED A SYLLABLE WITH ONE OF THEM? WILL YOU SAY THAT OF THE MASTER OF THE HOUSE!
He is not at home.
A PROFOUND REMARK! A MOST INGENIOUS QUIBBLE! HE WENT TO MILLCOTE THIS MORNING, AND WILL BE BACK HERE TO-NIGHT OR TO-MORROW: DOES THAT CIRCUMSTANCE EXCLUDE HIM FROM THE LIST OF YOUR ACQUAINTANCE—BLOT HIM, AS IT WERE, OUT OF EXISTENCE?
