Pagina 21 - OI ask your pardon for that— one's cruelty is one's power, and when one parts with one's cruelty, one parts with one's power; and when one has parted with that, I fancy one's old and ugly.
Pagina 21 - Till I had the cramp in my fingers, I'll vow, mem. And all to no purpose. But when your laship pins it up with poetry, it sits so pleasant the next day as anything, and is so pure and so crips.

Pagina 3 - Not at all : Witwoud grows by the knight like a medlar grafted on a crab. One will melt in your mouth, and tother set your teeth on edge. One is all pulp and the other all core. Mira. So one will be rotten before he be ripe, and the other will be rotten without ever being ripe at all.
