tea cups cups-of-tea
Bring me a cup of tea and the 'Times.'
life country baby
The poor fatherless baby of eight months is now the utterly broken-hearted and crushed widow of forty-two! My life as a happy one is ended! the world is gone for me! If I must live on (and I will do nothing to make me worse than I am), it is henceforth for our poor fatherless children - for my unhappy country, which has lost all in losing him - and in only doing what I know and feel he would wish.
children women thinking
Men never think, at least seldom think, what a hard task it is for us women to go through this very often. God's will be done, and if He decrees that we are to have a great number of children why we must try to bring them up as useful and exemplary members of society.
water goes-on shapes
Affairs go on, and all will take some shape or other, but it keeps one in hot water all the time.
queens speaking-up bishops
[To the bishop who suggested the widowed queen now consider herself 'as married to Christ':] That's what I call twaddle!
selfish men doctors
Oh! If those selfish men, who are the cause of all one's misery, only knew what their poor slaves go through! What suffering, what humiliation to the delicate feelings of a poor woman, above all a young one, especially with those nasty doctors.
happiness marriage thinking
I think people really marry far too much; it is such a lottery after all, and for a poor woman a very doubtful happiness.
love feet suffering
We placed the wreaths upon the splendid granite sarcophagus, and at its feet, and felt that only the earthly robe we loved so much was there. The pure, tender, loving spirit which loved us so tenderly, is above us - loving us, praying for us, and free from all suffering and woe - yes, that is a comfort, and that first birthday in another world must have been a far brighter one than any in this poor world below!
character civilization dumb
No civilization is complete which does not include the dumb and defenseless of God's creatures within the sphere of charity and mercy.
girl thinking wife
When I think of a merry, happy, free young girl - and look at the ailing, aching state a young wife generally is doomed to - which you can't deny is the penalty of marriage.
sex queens writing
The Queen is most anxious to enlist everyone who can speak or write to join in checking this mad, wicked folly of Woman's Rights with all its attendant horrors on which her poor, feeble sex is bent, forgetting every sense of womanly feeling and propriety.
queens animal practice
The Queen has done all she could on the dreadful subject of vivisection, and hopes that Mr. Gladstone will speak strongly against such a practice which is a disgrace to humanity...
people aberdeen hills
Lord Aberdeen was quite touched when I told him I was so attached to the dear, dear Highlands and missed the fine hills so much. There is a great peculiarity about the Highlands and Highlanders; and they are such a chivalrous, fine, active people.
beautiful sweet dog
She was such a beautiful and sweet creature... and so full of tricks.
