Journals and Diary Entries Flashcards
I scarce wish for anything
So truly as to be in love
Writing is the most dangerous
Employment young persons can have
In London, acquaintances are as easily dropped as counted, and
Company chosen or rejected at pleasure
The poor children belong to
A sex specifically prone to cruelty
Their dress
Is barbarous
The plights and failings of women are oftener from some defect
In head than in heart, so that where we are weak, you are wicked
Whatever is natural, plain or easy,
Is entirely brushed from polite circles
Sentiment and sensations
Were the lost fashion
Omai seems to shame education, for his manners are
So graceful, and he is so attentive, polite, and easy
These immense sized men speak
To women as if they were children
If I had imagined Miss Burney would have thought
At all the better of me for dress
I dreaded being thought
Studious and affected
I must call them gentleman and lady, because they travelled here in their own coach and 4 horses;
But at the first inn, the lady called for a pint!
I told her how much
I dreaded being discovered
I was so much agitated at the thought of being known
As a scribbler, that I was really ill all night
