"Her face is silting up, like a pond; layers are accumulating.

"This good-fellowship-camaraderie-usually occurring through similarity of pursuits, is unfortunately seldom superadded to love between the sexes, because men and women associate, not in their labours, but in their pleasures merely."

"Bathsheba loved Troy in the way that only self-reliant women love when they abandon their self-reliance.
