Mary Wollstonecraft

“ Mason's eyes—would you think, Caroline, that she who looks so very good-natured sometimes, could frighten one so? I wish I were as wise and as good as she is. The poor woman with the six children, whom we met on the common, said she was an angel, and that she had saved her's and her children's lives. My heart is in my mouth, indeed, replied Caroline, when I think of to-morrow morning, and yet I am much happier than I was when we were at home. ”

“ Yes, now I do remember, when we first came to her house, John forgot to bring the cow and her young calf into the cow-house; I heard her bid him do it directly, and the poor calf was almost frozen to death—she spoke then in a hurry, and seemed angry. ”

“ MRS. Mason had a number of visitors one forenoon, who conversed in the ussual thoughtless manner, which people often fall into who do not consider before they speak: they talked of Caroline's beauty, and she gave herself many affected airs to make it appear to the best advantage. ”
