giving married position
Being married gives one one's position like nothing else can.
baby ugly nasty
An ugly baby is a very nasty object - and the prettiest is frightful.
baby thinking young
I don't dislike babies, though I think very young ones rather disgusting.
growing-up disappointment children
You will find as the children grow up that as a rule children are a bitter disappointment - their greatest object being to do precisely what their parents do not wish and have anxiously tried to prevent.
country men hands
The danger to the country, to Europe, to her vast Empire, which is involved in having all these great interests entrusted to the shaking hand of an old, wild, and incomprehensible man of 82, is very great!
culinary
Good Hock (Hochheimer) keeps off the Doc.
peace may
Oh, that peace may come.

I feel sure that no girl would go to the altar if she knew all.
men thinking wicked
For a man to strike any women is most brutal, and I, as well as everyone else, think this far worse than any attempt to shoot, which, wicked as it is, is at least more comprehensible and more courageous.
sex
[On same-sex marriage:] No woman would do that.
good-woman reign royalty
I am every day more convinced that we women, if we are to be good women, feminine and amiable and domestic, are not fitted to reign; at least it is they that drive themselves to the work which it entails.
queens thinking russia
The Government should take a firm, bold line. This delay - this uncertainty, by which, abroad, we are losing our prestige and our position, while Russia is advancing and will be before Constantinople in no time! Then the Government will be fearfully blamed and the Queen so humiliated that she thinks she would abdicate at once.
blessed
Oh! was ever woman so blessed as I am.
artist seductive littles
I would venture to warn against too great intimacy with artists as it is very seductive and a little dangerous.
