dash if hoofs at my chest,"- (Chapter 8, J.E to H.B)

but not a free human being.

beauty, and much wealth, I should have made it as
hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave
you."(Chapter 23, J.E to E.R)

superiority depends on
the use you have made of
your time and
experience."

face. He had not imagined that a woman would
dare to speak so to a man. For me, I felt at

and refined minds, whether male or female, till
I had passed the outworks of conventional
reserve, and crossed the threshold of
confidence, and won a place by their heart's
very hearthstone."(Chapter 32,St. John River
and J.E)
